Nuruosmaniye Mosque

The Nuruosmaniye Mosque is not just any regular mosque; it is a symbol of culture and heritage. This magnificent 18th-century Ottoman mosque is situated in the heart of Istanbul's Fatih district, in the Çemberlitaş neighbourhood.

In 2016, it was included in Turkey’s Tentative list of World Heritage Sites, an achievement that speaks volumes about its significance.

The mosque’s dome is one of the most remarkable features that draws visitors from all over the world. It is the fourth-largest dome in Istanbul, after the Hagia Sophia, Süleymaniye Mosque, and Fatih Mosque.

Adding to its charm, the Nuruosmaniye mosque is also part of a larger religious complex, or Külliye, which serves as a hub for culture, religion, and education for the entire neighbourhood.

So if you want to explore the rich cultural heritage of Istanbul, visiting the Nuruosmaniye Mosque should be on the top of your list.
