Sancaklar Mosque was built in Büyükçekmece, a suburb of Istanbul, Turkey, by architect Emre Arolat.[1] Finished in 2012, it was awarded the Religious Building of the Year Award for 2015 by ArchDaily.[2]

In the 2018 BBC series Civilisations, classicist Mary Beard described it as "one of the most striking religious creations of modern times" and "one of the most startling mosques in the world".[3]
