Walking around Sarachane Park you'll encounter a most magnificent Ottoman Mosque and complex. The Sehzade Cami located in the Fatih district, on the third hill of Istanbul. Suleiman the Magnificent commissioned the mosque to commemorate his favorite son Şehzade Mehmed, who died aged only 21. It is sometimes referred to as the 'Prince's Mosque'. Mehmed was the eldest of Sulayman's sons by his wife Hurrem, more commonly known as Roxelana. He was probably murdered, one of the oldest cold case files in history. The complex consists of the mausoleum of Prince Mehmed, two madrasahs, a public kitchen and a caravansarai. The prince's only daughter Hümaşah and his youngest brother Cihangir are also buried here. The Sehzade Mosque was the architect Sinan's first major imperial commission. He completed it in 1548 CE and is an amazing freshman effort. There's an especially nice courtyard and you can meet some nice cats here. read more
