Şehzade Camii is a historic mosque located in the district of Fatih in Istanbul, Turkey. It was commissioned by Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent in memory of his eldest son, Prince Mehmed, who died at a young age. The mosque was designed by the famous Ottoman architect Mimar Sinan and construction began in 1543, with the mosque being completed in 1548.

The Şehzade Camii has a distinctive architectural style, blending Ottoman and Byzantine influences. It features a large central dome, four semi-domes, and two minarets. The interior is decorated with intricate calligraphy and tile work, and the mihrab (prayer niche) is particularly noteworthy for its intricate decoration.

In addition to being a place of worship, the Şehzade Camii has also played an important role in Ottoman history. It was used as a royal mausoleum for several generations, and many members of the Ottoman royal family are buried in the mosque’s complex.
