Hızırbey Prayer House

A connection between learning and architecture.

Hızırbey Mescidi is in Kubbeli neighbourhood, reached from the Unkapanı area. It is dated to 1439 and attributed to Hızır Bey, who later became Istanbul’s first kadı.

Its neighbourhood location connects a known historical patron with the ordinary streets and movement of Sivrihisar. The setting is part of the building’s interest.

Accounts of the patron’s ancestry vary in detail. This description concentrates on the documented location, date and patron, rather than treating every family tradition as settled fact.
