The list below contains some of the most important [[mosque]]s in modern-day [[Turkey]] that were commissioned by the members of [[Ottoman dynasty|Ottoman imperial family]]. Some of these major mosques are also known as a '''selatin mosque''', '''imperial mosque''',{{Sfn|Goodwin|1971|p=459}} or '''sultanic mosque''', meaning a mosque commissioned in the name of the sultan and, in theory, commemorating a military triumph.{{sfn|Necipoğlu|2005|pp=59-69}}{{Sfn|Rüstem|2019|pp=112-119}}<ref>{{Cite book |last=Cagaptay |first=Soner |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=zOCrDwAAQBAJ&dq=selatin+mosque&pg=PA287 |title=Erdogan's Empire: Turkey and the Politics of the Middle East |publisher=Bloomsbury Publishing |year=2019 |isbn=978-1-78673-597-3 |pages=287 |language=en}}</ref> Some mosques were commissioned by or dedicated to other members of the dynastic family, especially important women such as the mothers or wives of sultans.{{sfn|Necipoğlu|2005}}{{Sfn|Rüstem|2019}} Usually, only a sultanic mosque or a mosque commissioned by a [[Valide sultan|queen mother]] (''valide'') was granted the privilege of having more than one minaret.{{sfn|Necipoğlu|2005|pp=121-122}}
