About the Yavuz Selim Mosque
The Yavuz Selim Mosque, which is also called the Selim I Mosque, is an Ottoman imperial mosque from the 16th century. It crowns the 5th hill of Istanbul in the Çukurbostan neighborhood, with a view over the Golden Horn. Its size and position make it a familiar part of the skyline, and of the imperial mosques that survive in the city, only one is older.
Suleiman the Magnificent, the Ottoman sultan, commissioned it as a memorial to his father, Selim I, whose death came in 1520. Its architect, Alaüddin (Acem Alisi), finished the work in 1527/8. Attempts to link it to the imperial architect Mimar Sinan lack documentary evidence, and the date is too early, although one of the tombs in the garden is Sinan's work.
The interior is a plain square room measuring 24.5 meters (80 ft) per side, covered by a shallow dome that rises 32.5 meters (107 ft). Twin minarets flank the mosque, and the large courtyard is lined by a colonnaded portico whose columns are made of different marbles and granite. The mosque sits on a terrace looking down on the Cistern of Aspar, which was the biggest of Constantinople's three Roman reservoirs.
