thumb|upright|A street in Vefa, with an arch of the eastern section of the Valens Aqueduct in background. Behind it lies the Mosque of Kalenderhane. Vefa is part of the district of Fatih in Istanbul, and lies inside what was once the old walled city of Constantinople. It lies roughly northwest of the eastern section of the Aqueduct of Valens, and is rich in monuments, both Byzantine and Ottoman. It takes its name from the Muslim saint (wali) Shaykh Ebu’l Vefa whose real name was Şeyh Muslihiddin Nureddinzade who is buried locally in his own mosque and dergah.
