About Eyüp Sultan Mosque
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.
