New Mosque

The New Mosque, or Yeni Cami, greets everyone who steps off the Galata Bridge in the bustling Eminönü district. Despite its name, it is by no means new by historical standards, yet its silhouette with a cascade of domes and two slender minarets has become one of the city`s main symbols. It is not just an active mosque, but a true architectural complex, full of mysteries and symbolism, the construction of which stretched over sixty-six years.
