The Sanki Yedim Mosque (the Mehmed Şakir Efendi Mescit or Keçeci Hayreddin Mescit) is a mosque in the Zeyrek neighborhood, Fatih, Istanbul, Turkey.[1]
The mosque was built, probably in the 18th century,[2] by someone by the name of Keçeci Hayreddin[3] or by the name of Sankiyedim.[4]
At some point the mosque was rebuilt by Adanalı Mehmet Şakir Ağa, and at some point the building burned, but was rebuilt by İmamzâde Hasan Efendi, reopening in 1868. It was again burned in the Çırçır fire of 1908,[5] and was again rebuilt in 1959-1961 by the Türkiye Anıtlar Derneği.[6]
