Commissioned by Ottoman judge Kadı Nasrullah and completed in 1506 during the reign of Sultan Bayazid II, the Nasrullah Mosque stands in Kastamonu, Turkey, just west of the Governor's Office near the Gök River. This Ottoman architectural külliye exemplifies early 16th-century mosque design, featuring a prayer hall crowned by nine domes supported on six square columns (each 1.60 m × 1.60 m), while its narthex is vaulted by seven domes resting on ten columns. Two minarets flank the structure, and a notable public fountain (şadırvan) occupies the northern courtyard. The building has been restored multiple times—in 1746, 1845, and 1945—preserving its original Ottoman character across centuries.
