Yeni Üsküdar Mosque, Ottoman mosque in Üsküdar, Turkey.

The Yeni Üsküdar Mosque features a central dome supported by four half-domes, with two minarets displaying dual balconies and intricate stone carvings.

Sultan Ahmed III commissioned the construction of this mosque between 1708 and 1710 to honor his mother, Emetullah Râbi'a Gülnûş Sultan.

The interior calligraphy, created by Hezarfen Mehmet Efendi, represents the religious artistry and Ottoman architectural traditions of the eighteenth century.

The mosque maintains regular prayer schedules and includes facilities such as a fountain in the courtyard, providing visitors access to water for ritual ablutions.

The mosque structure incorporates cross vaults over the central bay and cloister vaults over side bays, departing from traditional five-dome Ottoman layouts.
