The Sitti Şah Sultan Mosque, or simply the Sultan Mosque, is a mosque in Edirne, Turkey, built in 1482[1] by Yıldırım Bayezid in honour of Sitti Hatun, one of the wives of Fatih Sultan Mehmed.
In 1873, the Sitti Şah Sultan Mosque was used by the military as a gunpowder store, resulting in cracks appearing in its walls. During the 1910 earthquake, its minaret sustained serious damage.[2] The mosque, which underwent restoration in the 1980s and 1990s, was listed under the decision of the Cultural Heritage Preservation Board dated 4 July 2003 and numbered 7697.[3]
