Dream Fatih is located on the territory of the city fortress of Trabzon. It was originally the Basilica of Panagia Chrysocephalos (the Golden-domed Virgin). The copper dome of the basilica was covered with gilding, hence the name – Our Lady of Gold.

Later, after the fall of the Byzantine Empire, the basilica was reconstructed into the Ortahisar Mosque, and then renamed the Fatih Mosque.
