The Fatih Mehmet Mosque is an Ottoman-style building in Kyustendil, in southwestern Bulgaria. It is named after Sultan Mehmed II and is also known in Bulgarian sources as the Shaldarvan Mosque (Шалдърванска джамия). It once served as a Friday mosque but is no longer in use for worship, and it has been declared a cultural monument of national significance. Ottoman registers and a surviving 17th-century depiction of the city indicate that Kyustendil had 17 mosques; this is the only one to have survived from the city's history. The idea of turning it into a museum has been raised, though sources describe the building as being at risk of collapse.
