The Nuruosmaniye Mosque is an 18th-century Ottoman mosque located in the Çemberlitaş neighbourhood of Fatih district in Istanbul, Turkey. In 2016 it was inscribed in the Tentative list of World Heritage Sites in Turkey. The dome of the mosque is extremely distinct, and the fourth largest in the city of Istanbul, behind the Hagia Sophia, Süleymaniye Mosque, and Fatih Mosque, respectively. The Nuruosmaniye mosque is part of a larger religious complex, or Külliye, acting as a centre of culture, religion, and education for the neighborhood. The first imperial mosque of Istanbul that integrated both Baroque and neoclassical elements in its construction, Nuruosmaniye Mosque was built in the Ottoman Baroque style. The mosque's muqarnas and its curved courtyard show the influence of the Baroque. The mosque is located on Istanbul's second hill, site of the mosque of Fatma Huton; that mosque was burned due to a fire. In Constantinople, the area of the Nurosmaniye Mosque was close to the Forum of Constantine, where the Column of Constantine (Turkish: Çemberlitaş Sütunu) still stands. Surrounding the mosque is Istanbul's Grand Bazaar (Turkish: Kapalıçarşı). After the construction of the Sultan Ahmed Mosque, the Nurosmaniye mosque was the first imperial mosque to be built in 100 years.
A very beautiful masjid. Near my hotel so prayed fajr daily, which was a very serene experience in such a beautiful environment.
A sense of peace prevails the moment you step inside. The mosque is just opposite the grand Bazaar. The calligraphy is amazing. But more than anything it's the whispering silence inside...beautiful late afternoon light filters through the intricate coloured glasses of the window, a couple of people praying on the other side of the hall...the very polite security officer whispered requested not to take photographs of the praying people...altogether it's a beautiful experience after the grand Bazaar's crowd and commotion
What a great mosque, very beautiful and historical Mosque. It is next to the Grand Bazar with a very clean and looked after water closet WC. These very old buildings (mosques) in Istanbul represent the deep and interesting art, engineering, amazing infrastructure of hundreds and thousands of years of building designs. It is a must visit place in Istanbul. I do indeed, recommend this Mosque to everyone.
Very good place near the mosque Simit guy in the middle of the place is best I had in Istanbul with cream cheese and cacher cheese
An 18th-century Ottoman mosque located in the Çemberlitaş neighbourhood of Fatih district in Istanbul (nearby the grand bazar) It is part of a much larger religious complex, and the dome of the mosque is extremely distinct, and the fourth largest in the city of Istanbul.
This is another iconic place that I really recommend to see; not many tourists come here.
