Arakiechi Mehmet Aga Mosque

Arakiechi Mehmet Aga Mosque, also known as Takyeci Mehmed Aga Mosque and Yeni Cesme Mosque, is located in the Fatih district of Istanbul. It was built in 1520 by Arakiechi Mehmet Aga and was originally made of wood. The mosque's pulpit was donated to the mosque by Earl Abdullah Effendi, who was the keeper of the seal of Grand Vizier Maktul Ibrahim Pasha. For a long time, the mosque was in a state of de-communization, but in 1951-1958 it was renovated with reinforced concrete. Arakiechi Mehmet Aga himself was buried in front of the mosque's altar. The area of the mosque's interior is 113 m2, and the area of the cemetery and garden is 180 m2.
