About the New Mosque, Istanbul
The New Mosque stands in the Eminönü quarter of Istanbul, beside the Golden Horn, at the Galata Bridge's southern end. It began in 1597 as the Valide Sultan Mosque, ordered by Safiye Sultan, who was married to Sultan Murad III and later became mother of Sultan Mehmed III. Work stopped after Mehmed III died in 1603, and the unfinished building was badly damaged in the Great Fire of 1660.
Turhan Sultan, who was mother to Sultan Mehmed IV, then took over the project. Construction resumed in late 1660, and the mosque was completed in 1663, with its inauguration following in 1665. It received the name New Valide Sultan Mosque, which the public later shortened to New Mosque. The complex also included the Spice Bazaar, whose construction began alongside the mosque.
The mosque carries 66 domes and half-domes in a pyramidal grouping, plus two minarets. The main dome rises 36 m (118 ft) and rests on four flanking semi-domes; its plan draws on the earlier Şehzade Mosque and on the Sultan Ahmed Mosque. A courtyard with a colonnaded peristyle and 24 small domes stands on the west side, with an ornamental ablution fountain at its center. Blue, green and white İznik tiles decorate the interior.
