Sehzade Mausoleum in Istanbul by Jens Helmstedt
The most important building in Istanbul’s Sarachane quarter is the Sehzade Mosque, completed in 1548. The mosque and a mausoleum was built under the reign of Ottoman Sultan Süleyman in memory of his eldest son by Roxelane, Prince Mehmed, who died of smallpox at the age of 21 in the year 1543. It was the first major work by the famous architect Sinan.
