Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: One of pictures inside and outside of the Kumbarhane Mosque. It's more usual name may be "Kumbarahane Mosque" but both spellings can be found. Others call it Mihrişah Sultan Mosque, as it was commissioned by the mother of Selim III, Mihrişah Sultan, for Selim’s sappers and gunners and so it was built in the middle of the barracks. Originally constructed in 1793 with just one minaret, Selim III later added a second. The mosque’s current form was completed between 1803-1804.
Built over an area of 350 square meters, it is also known as the Kumbaracılar Kışlası Mosque, or “Barracks of the Gunners” Mosque. Many of the living quarters which surrounded the mosque, particularly those on the side facing the sea, survive to this day.” As for the latter, right under the bridge next to the mosque another monumental building seems to be part of those barracks. The mosque belongs to the Ottoman Baroque with touches of the later Rococo. The son would later build the Selimiye Mosque in Üsküdar. |
