The ancient mosque of Fethiye Tzami dates from 1458 and stands in a corner of the Roman agora/forum site.

The mosque was dedicated by Sultan Mehmet 11, who conquered Constantinople ('fethiye' means 'conquest')

You can't go in, because it is used as an archaeological storage area, but you can look round the exterior.

At the rear there are several tombstones, inscribed with Arabic memorials.

Review Helpfulness: 1.5 out of 5 stars
