View Of The Bosphorus Bridge From Ortaköy Mosqueby H-TownJourneyman
Buyuk Mecidiye Camii, or more commonly known as Ortaköy Mosque, is a lovely mosque located in the Ortaköy area. The mosque was completed in 1854, and was planned by the same architects of the Armenian-Turkish Balyan family that designed Dolmabahçe Palace. The architecture of the structure is amazing, made of marble, with 2 towering minerettes on either side. Inside the mosque, there is a beautiful crystal chandelier hanging, and the dome is painted with several mosaics, along with some Arabic calligraphy samples completed by Sultan Abdulmecit, the first Sultan to reside at Dolmabahce. The mosque's location right along the shore provides some outstanding views of the Bosphorus, as well as the Bosphorus Bridge, located directly north.
Directions: Located in Ortaköy, just south of the Bosphorus Bridge
