It is one of the oldest mosques in Europe, having been completed in 1576, during the years the Ottomans had control of the capital. One can even see the steam rising from vents in the ground near the Mosque walls. The mosque derives its name from the phrase Banya Bashi, which means many baths. The Mosque was designed by Koca Mimar Sinan, one of the leading architects of the Ottoman period. The most outstanding feature of the Mosque is that it was actually built over natural thermal spas.
