The ceiling of the Eyüp Sultan Mosque (1458), the first mosque constructed by the Ottoman Turks following the Conquest of Constantinople in 1453. This mosque attracts many pilgrims because it is positioned next to the place where the Eyüp Sultan - the standard-bearer of the Islamic prophet Muhammad - is said to have been buried during the Arab assault on Constantinople in 670.
