Arap mosque is a mosque in the Beyoglu district of Istanbul, Turkey. One version is that it was built during the first attempted conquest of the city of Constantinople by the Arab armies that were besieging it. Another version is that it was a church that was converted into a mosque to serve Arab refugees who had settled in the area after being expelled from Spain (Andalusia).
