Abdul Medgid Mosque, Medgidia, Ottoman mosque in Medgidia, Romania.

The Abdul Medgid Mosque features a 25-meter minaret on its northwest wall, constructed with limestone blocks and cedar wood from Lebanon.

Built between 1859 and 1865 following Sultan Abdul Medjid's decree, the mosque emerged after the resettlement of 6,000 Crimean peasants in Medgidia.

The interior structure maintains its original neoclassical Islamic design elements, with spiral staircases covered in lime and cedar wood materials.

The mosque remains active with an imam, hatip, and muezzin, serving the Muslim community at Decebal Street number 20 in Medgidia.

The mosque stands as the oldest building in Medgidia and represents one of two Islamic worship locations in the entire city.
