Beylerbeyi Mosque is on the Asian shoreline of the Bosphorus right next to Beylerbeyi Quay. It was built in 1778 and commissioned by Sultan Abdulhamid 1 to commemorate his mother, Rabia Sultan, and designed by architect Tahir Aga. The baroque style mosque was built using cut stone, with an octagonal shape, has two minarets and 55 windows. The single dome is in front of the mosque’s niche that is covered with a half-dome. The interior of the mosque is decorated with engravings and inscriptions and is an excellent example of different cultures merging together.

The Hamid-i-Evvel Cammi is now commonly known as Beylerbeyi Mosque, I learnt that the mosque was built by Sultan AbudlHamid I in memory of his mother Rabia Sermi Sultan. Chief Architect Mehmet Tahir Aga was commissioned and the mosque was built in 1777- 1778. Since then the mosque has seen several redesign by successors and restorations due to fire damage. Part of the mosque garden is now used by restaurant. Masha'Allah, this is a very beautiful and peaceful mosque. The Imam and his deputy had eloquent recitation. The location of the mosque to ferry stop and restaurant makes it easily accessible. The light from minarets acts like a light house to the area.
