Davud Paşa Mosque

The Davud Paşa Mosque stands in the Fatih district of Istanbul, in the neighbourhood that bears its name, between Cerrahpaşa and Kocamustafapaşa. It was commissioned by Koca Davud Pasha, one of the grand viziers of the reign of Bayezid II. The building reflects the characteristics of early Ottoman architecture. It is regarded as one of the last and most developed examples of the inverted-T plan mosques with tabhane (zaviye) rooms that were built within the city walls after the conquest of Istanbul. The mosque is located on Davutpaşa Medresesi Sokağı.

The mosque was built in 1485 on the order of Koca Davud Pasha, who served as grand vizier under Bayezid II. Among the inverted-T plan mosques with tabhane rooms constructed inside the city walls after the conquest of Istanbul, it is considered one of the last and most developed examples of the type.
