Nuruosmaniye Mosque, Ottoman mosque near Grand Bazaar, Istanbul, Turkey.

The Nuruosmani Mosque features a central dome measuring 25.4 meters in diameter and two minarets with multiple balconies surrounding the structure.

Construction of the mosque began in 1755 under Sultan Mahmud I and was completed during the reign of Sultan Osman III as part of Ottoman imperial projects.

The mosque incorporates Ottoman baroque architectural elements, marking a transition period influenced by European design principles in religious structures.

Located in the Fatih district, the mosque remains open for daily prayers and welcomes visitors outside of worship times through separate entrances.

The mosque complex includes a horseshoe-shaped courtyard, departing from traditional rectangular Ottoman mosque courtyards of that period.
