İstanbul, the former Ottoman Capital

Nuruosmaniye Mosque

The Nuruosmaniye Mosque is one of the most excellent examples of mosques in the Ottoman Baroque style. It was built by architects Mustafa Ağa and a Greek minority architect, Simeon Kalfa on one of the seven hills of İstanbul. It was commissioned from the order of Sultan Mahmut I beginning in 1748 and completed by his brother and successor Sultan Osman III in 1755.
