The Çorlulu Ali Paşa Madrasa is located at number 36 on Yeniçeriler Street in the Molla Fenari neighborhood. It was established between 1707 and 1709 on the site of the old Simkeşhane, as a complex consisting of a mosque, dervish lodge, madrasa, library, and cemetery. Its founder was Çorlulu Ali Paşa, son-in-law of Mustafa II and one of the Grand Viziers of Ahmed III, who died in 1711. The mosque has a square plan and covers an area of ​​100 m². There are inscriptions on each of the courtyard gates. The inscription on the dervish lodge side has disappeared. The last line of the inscription on the courtyard gate on the madrasa side, along with the date, is included. There is also an inscription on Çorlulu Ali Paşa's tombstone. There are dervish lodge rooms at the entrance of the mosque. Next to it is Ali Pasha's Dar al-Hadith (school of Hadith). The head of this man, who was executed in Mytilene, is buried here. The mosque's walls are constructed with alternating rows of cut tufa stone and three rows of brick. The windows are arranged in two rows, and above the windows is a dome resting on a square drum. The large dome has four smaller domes at its four corners. The pulpit and lectern are made of wood, and the mihrab is plastered with concrete. The last prayer area, with its five marble columns and pointed arches, is entirely covered in glass. There are muezzin platforms on the right and left. A wooden staircase leads from the left to the upper wooden gallery. The single-balcony minaret has a square base and a body made of cut stone. Eight madrasahs and three tekke cells are still present today. The mosque was damaged in the 1766 earthquake and suffered even greater damage in the 1894 earthquake. It was repaired by the General Directorate of Foundations between 1961 and 1965. #istanbul #travel #travelvlog #corlulualipasacami
