Tavaşi Süleymanağa Mosque
Located in Muhsine Hatun Neighborhood in Fatih District of Istanbul, this structure was built in 1744.
In the 17th century, the term Tavaşi referred to individuals working in the Ottoman palace, often serving in the harems. Young boys brought into the palace would work in various roles before being assigned to Harem II. The most successful of these could become Darüssaade Ağa (Chief Eunuch). Some Tavaşis even became viziers.
This mosque was commissioned by Tavaşi Süleyman Ağa. It was originally built as a prayer hall with a stone basement, masonry walls, a wooden roof, and a wooden minaret.
The mosque underwent restoration by Pekerler Construction between 2018 and 2019.
