Selim Üsküdar Mosque
Selim Üsküdar Mosque, Ottoman mosque in Üsküdar, Turkey.
The Selimiye Mosque features a grand central dome, two slender minarets, and intricate marble work throughout its exterior and interior spaces.
Sultan Selim III commissioned the construction of this mosque between 1801 and 1805 as part of his military modernization program in Istanbul.
The mosque interior displays Ottoman decorative arts with detailed calligraphy of Surah al-Fath encircling the main prayer hall.
Located next to Selimiye Barracks, the mosque maintains regular prayer times and welcomes visitors outside worship hours through separate entrances.
The prayer hall design deviates from tradition by positioning side galleries outside, creating an open interior space beneath the central dome.
