Overview
Murad II built the Üç Şerefeli Mosque between 841/1437-8 and 851/1447-8, the largest Ottoman edifice before the conquest of Constantinople 1.
Largest Ottoman building before the conquest
The mosque takes its name from the tallest of its four minarets, which has three balconies; its marble-paved courtyard is counted the first Ottoman mosque courtyard. Evliya Çelebi says it cost 7,000 purses from the booty of the conquest of Izmir 1.
