The Sultan Murad Mosque is an Ottoman-era mosque in Skopje, North Macedonia, built in 1436 atop the remains of the Monastery of Saint George, which had been destroyed during Ottoman commander Pasha Yiğit Bey's capture of the city from Vuk Branković in 1392. A designated heritage site, the structure exemplifies Ottoman architectural tradition and stands as a physical marker of the religious transformation that followed the Ottoman conquest of the region.
