ORTAKOY CAMII

ON THE BOSPHORUS

Ortakoy Camii is "pint-sized" in comparison to other mosques "on the other side of the golden horn".

The mosque was built in Neo-baroque style.

In the interior of the mosque, there are wide, "high bay windows" which refract its reflection in water as well as daylight. 

There are also several panels of calligraphy by Abdulmecid himself.
