Sokollu Mehmed Pasha Mosque

We visited the Sokollu Mehmed Pasha Mosque three days ago, and it truly exceeded our expectations. This site is an underrated gem, rich with history and significance, making it a must-visit for anyone in the city, especially for us as Muslims. The mosque houses four pieces of the Hajar Aswad, a detail that’s not widely known but adds immense spiritual and historical value to the experience. The atmosphere inside was serene and peaceful, and the cleanliness of the mosque was impeccable. What made our visit even more special was the guard inside the mosque, who took the time to explain the history and significance of the site to us. His knowledge and enthusiasm made the experience more enriching and memorable. We had such a wonderful time visiting this mosque. It’s a place that not only connects you to history but also leaves a lasting impression on your heart. Highly recommended for those looking for a meaningful and enlightening visit.

There are 4 pieces of the Hajjrul Aswad in this mosque worth visiting if you are interested Istanbul. It's a old mosque. Close to Blue mosque

A must for any Muslim. This most lacks the marketing the other two mosques receive, but it still matches the awe that other two mosques possess. The security guard was very helpful telling and showing us where the black stones pieces where. The imam was extremely nice and greeted my son and family and offered us sweets after prayer.

You feel peace & a very positive energy in this mosque. We stayed 100ft from it & will stop by everyday to recharge ourselves.

Beautiful ottoman era mosque. - Four pieces of the sacred Black Stone from the southeastern corner of the Kaaba have been preserved in Mosque in Istanbul for about five centuries. The pieces of the stone were brought to Istanbul by the Ottoman Sultan Suleiman I, also known as Suleiman the Magnificent, and placed in the mosque built in the Kadırga district on behalf of the then-grand vizier, Sokullu Mehmet Pasha, in 1571. Highly recommended

Very tranquil and peaceful place- less tourists made for a more genuine atmosphere
