Istanbul, conquered by the Ottoman sultan Mehmed II in 1453, served as the imperial capital of the Ottoman Sunni caliphate for nearly five centuries and remains the most architecturally consequential Islamic city of the early modern Mediterranean. The Süleymaniye Mosque, completed by the architect Mimar Sinan in 1557 for Sultan Süleyman the Magnificent, and the later Sultan Ahmed (Blue) Mosque of 1616 epitomize the classical Ottoman synthesis of dome, half-dome, and minaret. Hagia Sophia, originally a sixth-century Byzantine church, served as the principal imperial mosque from 1453 to 1934 and again from 2020. The city houses the Topkapi Palace's collection of relics traditionally associated with the Prophet Muhammad and his companions and the Eyüp Sultan Mosque around the tomb of Abu Ayyub al-Ansari. Today Istanbul's mosque culture, dervish lodges, and Ramadan public iftars continue to make it a living center of Sunni religious life across multiple madhhabs and tariqas.
