Burmali Mesjid Mosque

The mosque with a spiral minaret is a historic building that was built in the 16th century in Sarachhane Park, Fatih district in Istanbul, Turkey. This mosque was commissioned by Emin Nureddin Efendi, the kadiasker of Egypt, and is distinguished by its unique spiral brick minaret, which is a replica of a Seljuk minaret. It is important to note that the mosque does not have a dome, but has a sloping porch supported by four Byzantine stone columns of the Corinthian order. It is also worth noting that the entrance to the mosque is not centrally located, but behind one of the columns, which makes it architecturally interesting.
