Mihrişah Sultan Complex
Historic building and charitable complex in Istanbul, Turkey
About
The Mihrişah Sultan Complex (Turkish: Mihrişah Valide Sultan Külliyesi) is an Ottoman architectural complex and charitable foundation (külliye) founded by Mihrişah Sultan in the late 18th century. The complex is located next to the Eyüp Sultan Mosque complex in Istanbul, Turkey. The complex's largest component is an imaret (soup kitchen) which is notable for being one of the last imarets in Istanbul to still serve its original purpose. The rest of the complex is also notable for the founder's mausoleum and for its ornate street-facing sebil, all built in the Ottoman Baroque style.
