This is the complex (külliye) of Bayram Paşa. It dates from 1634, at that time Bayram Paşa was Kaymakam or Mayor of the city. He became Grand Vezir two years on and soon after died on Murat IV’s expedition against Baghdad (info: Strolling through Istanbul; Redhouse).

This is a great humor photo for Istanbul's traffic :) The blue sign shows that the street to the left is "one way" but the first 2 cars are parking the wrong way !!
