Another beautiful Mosque in Istanbul
Walk past the hotel and pray there in that mosque. Love the stained glass windows in the mosque.
The mosque, which was started to be built in the decadent years of Ottoman architecture. In the book "hadikat-ül-cevâmî" about Istanbul mosques: "their salaries are paid from his own foundation. There are soup kitchens (charities), tombs, public fountains and fountains, as well as cells for imams and muezzins, around which madrasas, soup and bread are assigned to lodges. It was built on a large land obtained by giving various donations to its owners. The architect is Mehmet Tahir Ağa.
The mosque and complex, the foundation of which was laid on Thursday, April 10, 1760, was completed in 3 years, 10 months and 29 days and opened for worship on Friday, March 9, 1764. At the opening ceremony, the third khan, the sultan, was personally found, the victims were slaughtered and distributed to the poor.
According to a rumor, the left one of the two minarets of this mosque, which was built on a building or cellar from the Byzantine period, was added 6 years after the completion of the mosque's construction.

A special mosque in the center of the city, easily accessible by tram or on foot. The four star rating has to do with the closed türbe of Sultan Mustafa III with no further signing even though it was Friday (the sign warned about Mondays) and the bazaar and its products in a holy place like that.
This is one of my favorite mosques in Istanbul. It's stunning, and there's such a peace walking in. Its on a busy street, but as soon as you climb the steps, you've escaped the noise and can't help but be in awe of the beauty of the mosque.
