Introduction
The Yeni Camii, also known as the Istanbul New Mosque, was built in 1597 and endured hardships before being completed in 1663. Its design was inspired by the Blue Mosque and the Suleymaniye Mosque, with a huge courtyard and two towering minarets on its sides, a beautiful fountain in the center, and several half-domes surrounding the main dome. Its interior is spacious and adorned with metal leaves, carved marble, and colorful Iznik tiles. Apart from its magnificent decor, it has become a gathering place for pigeons. It represents the highest level of architecture during the Ottoman Empire and is worth a thorough visit. Address Yenicami, Meydani Sokak, Eminonu, Istanbul, Turkey
