The Molla Çelebi Mosque, also known as the Fındıklı Mosque, is a 16th-century Ottoman congregational mosque located in the Fındıklı neighbourhood of Istanbul's Beyoğlu district. Designed by the imperial architect Mimar Sinan and commissioned by Kazasker Mehmet Vusuli Efendi, the chief judge of Istanbul, the mosque was completed in 1584 as part of a külliye complex. Positioned prominently on the Bosphorus waterfront near the Kabataş ferry port and Dolmabahçe Mosque, it exemplifies the refined Ottoman architectural style characteristic of Sinan's mature period.
