Ottoman mosques in Şehr-i İstanbul and a view of Interior of Cerrahpaşa Mosque, located on Cerrahpaşa Avenue, Kocamustafapaşa, Fatih District of Istanbul, Turkey (Turkish: Şehr-i İstanbul'daki Osmanlı Camileri ve Kocamustafapaşa Cerrahpaşa Caddesi üzerinde bulunan Cerrahpaşa Camii'nin iç görüntüsü).

To find Cerrahpaşa you need to alight from the tram at Aksaray, cross the busy interchange and look for the 18th-century Ebu Bekir Paşa schoolroom, which now houses a humble teahouse. From there you should head along Namık Kemal Avenue to find the Cerrahpaşa Mosque, which was built in 1593 by Davud Ağa, a pupil of Sinan who succeeded him as chief architect. In the grounds stands the tomb of Cerrah Paşa, the barber who had the honor of circumcising the future Sultan Mehmet III and who was awarded the title of surgeon for his pains.
