Kilic Ali Pasa Mosque

The Kilic Ali Pasha Mosque is located in the Tovani district of Istanbul. It was built by order of the Ottoman admiral, Kilic Ali Pasha, and built by the architect Sinan in 1580. It was designed as a complete mosque complex, as it includes the mosque itself, a school, a mausoleum, a public fountain, a school, and a bath. The original plans of the mosque are one of the rare documents that have survived intact from the 16th century and show how Sinan worked to make the mosque look like Hagia Sophia.
