The Eyüp Sultan Mosque is an Ottoman mosque on the European side of Istanbul, near the Golden Horn and outside the walls of Constantinople. It is named after the Companion Abu Ayyub al-Ansari, whom Turks call "Eyüp Sultan". According to the sources, it was built in 1458 and was the first mosque established by Muslims in Istanbul after the conquest. The present building dates to the early nineteenth century. The mosque complex includes a separate building housing the tomb of Abu Ayyub al-Ansari, and many other graves lie around it. The shrine is visited with reverence by many Muslims.

From Wikipedia

The Eyüp Sultan Mosque (Turkish: Eyüp Sultan Camii) is a mosque in Eyüp district of Istanbul, Turkey. The mosque complex includes a mausoleum marking the spot where Ebu Eyüp el-Ansari (Abu Ayyub al-Ansari), the standard-bearer and companion of the prophet Muhammad, is said to have been buried. On a much older site, the present building dates from the beginning of the 19th century.

Because of its particular sanctity, the mosque played a role in the coronation ceremony for new Ottoman Sultans, who came here — proceeding along the grand Cülus Yolu ('Accession Way') — to be girded with the Sword of Osman at the start of their reigns. Today it remains a popular pilgrimage destination.
