Yıldız Hamidiye Mosque

The Yıldız Hamidiye Mosque, located on Barbaros Bulvari, was commissioned by Sultan Abdülhamit II and built between the years 1884-1886; the mosque’s architect was Sarkis Baylan. It was used for the sultan’s Friday addresses, and was the site of an assassination attempt on Abdülhamid II’s life in 1905.nnThe two-storied mosque is built on a rectangular plan, with one central dome, and constructed out of cut stone. The mosque has a single minaret, also built of cut stone, and a marble mihrab. Inside the mosque’s courtyard there is housing for the mosque’s functionaries, facilities for ritual ablution, men’s and women’s toilets, a coffin rest and a clock tower built in 1890.

One of the best decorated mosque

Unique architecture and history.

One of the best mosques i've visited in istanbul! Its not well known mosque but its great and must visit!!

Really one of a kind, never seen a mosque like this. The architecture of the mosque is a combination of Neo-Gothic style and classical ottoman motives.
