Sokollu Mustafa Pasha

Sokollu Mustafa Pasha (Turkish: Sokollu Mustafa Paşa, Hungarian: Szokoli Musztafa Pasa, Serbo-Croatian: Mustafa-paša Sokolović) was a 16th-century Ottoman statesman and member of the influential Sokolović family. His uncle (or cousin depending on the sources) was the Grand Vizier Sokollu Mehmed Pasha.^[1]^[2]

Sokollu Mustafa Pasha is most notable for being the twelfth beylerbey of Budin eyalet, the core province of Ottoman-era Hungary which stretched from Semendire to Esztergom with its capital at Budin (modern day Budapest). His tenure of twelve years (1566–1578) saw many construction works, many of which still stand today in Budapest.^[3]
