Nearby are several significant buildings: the former Turkish mineral baths, the Central Market Hall, the Central Department Store, and the Sofia Synagogue. The pedestrian boulevard Vitosha can be reached within ten minutes on foot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">History and Architecture<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The mosque was built in 1566\u20131567 during the Ottoman period, attributed to the architect Mimar Sinan.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It was commissioned in memory of the wife of Mullah Kada Seifullah Efendi.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The building stands on a natural thermal spring, which influenced its name: \u201cbanya bashi\u201d means \u201cmany baths.\u201d A fountain with hot mineral water is located between the mosque and the former baths.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Constructed of stone and red bricks, the mosque can accommodate up to 1,200 worshippers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Present Day<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Entrance to Banya Bashi Mosque is free. Visitors may view the restored interior prayer hall, which continues to serve religious functions. As a functioning mosque, it is also an important cultural and historical monument of Sofia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u9644\u52a0\u4fe1\u606f<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today, the mosque is part of the city\u2019s multicultural landscape. Alongside Orthodox churches, a synagogue, and Catholic sites, it represents the diverse religious traditions that coexisted in Sofia over centuries. Its continued use makes it both a religious institution and a reminder of the Ottoman heritage in Bulgaria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-2 is-cropped
