The Fatih Mosque is an Ottoman mosque off Fevzi Paşa Caddesi in Istanbul's Fatih district, named after Sultan Mehmed the Conqueror. Built between 1463 and 1470 on the site of the Church of the Holy Apostles, it was seriously damaged in the 1766 earthquake and rebuilt in 1771 to a different design. Its complex once included the Sahn-ı Seman Medrese, a centre of learning founded by the astronomer Ali Qushji.
