Sitti Şah Sultan Mosque, or Sultan Mosque, is a mosque built in Edirne in 1482 by Yıldırım Bayezid in honour of Sitti Hatun, one of the wives of Fatih Sultan Mehmet.
Sitti Şah Sultan Mosque was used as a gunpowder store by the military in 1873, causing cracks to appear in its walls. In the earthquake of 1910, its minaret suffered serious damage.[1] The mosque underwent restoration in the 1980s and 1990s and was registered under the decision of the Heritage Protection Board dated 04.07.2003 and numbered 7697.[2]
