The list below contains some of the most important mosques in modern-day Turkey that were commissioned by the members of Ottoman imperial family. Some of these major mosques are also known as a selatin mosque, imperial mosque, or sultanic mosque, meaning a mosque commissioned in the name of the sultan and, in theory, commemorating a military triumph.[1] Some mosques were commissioned by or dedicated to other members of the dynastic family, especially important women such as the mothers or wives of sultans. Usually, only a sultanic mosque or a mosque commissioned by a queen mother (valide) was granted the privilege of having more than one minaret.
