Emimönü Mosque, Istanbul, Turkey.
This is one of Istanbulââ¬â¢s most prominent mosques, situated at the opening to the Golden Horn, close to the Galata Bridge and the Spice Bazaar. The name Yeni Camii New Mosque is rather misleading though, as the mosque actually dates back to the 1663. It is an imposing structure with a large open space in front, where birdseed sellers have created a healthy pigeon population who enjoy a starring role in many New Mosque photos. It has a typically ornate interior, and was built as part of a complex that also contained a hospital, hamam, fountains and a market.
