Summary
| Description |
English: This type of mosque would have one or even two pavilions, where the sultan would wait before participating in the service (from the hükâr mahfili). Here we see part of it, as well as - to the left- the main body of the mosque.
From the Wikipedia: ”Big Selimiye Mosque (Turkish: Büyük Selimiye Camii), often known simply as Selimiye Mosque, is situated in the district of Üsküdar in İstanbul, Turkey, right across the Selimiye Barracks. The mosque was commissioned by Ottoman Sultan Selim III (reigned 1789–1807) and completed in 1801, however its main architect is unknown. The Big Selimiye Mosque has a western style, a wide courtyard and four entrance doors. After the completion of the mosque, the original minarets were thought to be too thick, and later shaved. The mosque is seen as a masterpiece of carpentry and marble work. The dome is 14.6 m (48 ft) wide, has five windows and supported by four half domes. The Big Selimiye Mosque has a "muvakkithane" for keeping prayer times and a water fountain. “ As for the Western Style, this can be read as "Ottoman Baroque". |
