Eyüp mosque, located on the shore of the Golden Horn in Eyüp district, was built by Fatih Sultan Mehmet in 1458. The mosque was named Eyup Sultan because of the tomb of Ebu Eyyub el-Ansari, who was a bannerbearer and martyred in front of the walls of Istanbul during the failed campaign of the Umayyads to Constantinople (Istanbul) in the 7th century.
