The Ortaköy Mosque is not just a place of worship, but a significant cultural and architectural landmark of Istanbul. Its stunning location on the Bosphorus, combined with its historical significance and unique architectural style, make it a must-see for anyone exploring Istanbul.

The Ortaköy Mosque, officially Büyük Mecidiye Camii, is located in the Ortaköy district in the Turkish port city of Istanbul. This neo-Baroque mosque was built in the period from 1854 to 1856 on behalf of the Ottoman Sultan Abdülmecit. This replaced an older, 18th-century mosque that stood on the same site.

After a 3-year restoration, it was opened for use/visit again in 2014.
