Summary
"İbrahim Pasha Camii stands on the slope of the Third Hill leading down to the Golden Horn. According to the Hadikat-ül Cevami, an account of Istanbul's mosques around 1780, it was founded in A.H. 883 (1478) by Çandarlı İbrahim Pasha, grand vezir under Beyazit II. The complex originally included, beside the mosque, a medrese, a mektep, a hamam and a fountain, none of which survive." 1
'The mosque lay in ruins for many years and was restored in the 1960s; the restoration destroyed everything original in the structure, so that it now merits hardly a passing mention.' 1
