Istanbul Beylerbeyi Mosque Minber

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Detail of mhe minber. It has great decoration.

The Beylerbeyi Mosque (also known as the Hamid-I Evvel Mosque) is an Ottoman Baroque mosque, built in 1777-1778, and was commisioned by Abdülhamid I in the memory of his mother Rabia Sermi Sultan. Its architect was maybe (in many cases the actual architect was not known, but a “chief architect” who oversaw all sort of building sites in town was often mentioned) Mehmed Tahir Ağa.

The dome has been replaced as the original one was damaged, and the two minarets were not in the original design but built in 1810-11. The mosque is on the side of the Bosporus in a neighbourhood called Beylerbeyi itself.

When I took a taxi from Üsküdar to get to the mosque the driver at some point headed inland, uphill. His navigation (as well as mine) indicated there was another Beylerbeyi mosque inland. If that exists at all it's not the one I was heading for, I had the impression the Hamid-I Evvel Mosque name is better known.
