Yıldız Hamidiye Mosque

we got a "private tour" from a very nice older man working there. He explained us everything inside - he didn't speak much English but still tried his best. It's up on a hill so it's quiet & outside of the Skopje centre.

Amazing mosque with a different art. I recommend it for any visitor would like to see something different.
It is only 300 or 400 hundred meters from Besktas Iskele.

A must see mosque with a nice history. Mashallah. If you have time, just sit and adore the beauty.

Beautiful masjid with lot of colorful design, the carpet is clean and high quality, the architecture is an unique artwork.

The definition of this mosque according to Wikipedia is:

The Yıldız Hamidiye Mosque (Turkish: Yıldız Hamidiye Camii), also called the Yıldız Mosque (Turkish: Yıldız Camii), is an Ottoman imperial mosque located in Yıldız neighbourhood of Beşiktaş district in Istanbul, Turkey, on the way to Yıldız Palace.

The architecture of the mosque is a combination of Neo-Gothic style and classical Ottoman motifs. A bronze colonnade erected by Abdul Hamid II in Marjeh Square of Damascus, Syria bears a replica statue of the Yıldız Mosque on top.

Must visit!! Highly recommends, Abdulhamid era artifact , 19. Century.

Really one of a kind, never seen a mosque like this. The architecture of the mosque is a combination of Neo-Gothic style and classical ottoman motives.

Make time to visit this mosque. It’s not on any main thoroughfares but easy to find. When we visited, it was quiet, intimate,
and one of the most beautiful, unique mosques we’ve seen in Istanbul!

Beautiful Mosque! This is the same mosque which comes in the Abdul Hamid Tv Show called payitaht I believe. Correct me if am wrong 😀

Yıldız Hamidiye Camii is a historical mosque located in the Beşiktaş district of Istanbul, Turkey. It was built between 1884 and 1886 during the reign of Sultan Abdulhamid II, and was designed by the Ottoman court architect Raimondo D'Aronco in a combination of Ottoman and European architectural styles.

The mosque is named after the Yıldız Palace, which was the main residence of the sultan during his reign. The mosque features a large dome and two minarets, and its interior is decorated with intricate tilework, calligraphy, and stained glass windows. The mosque also contains a marble mihrab (a niche indicating the direction of Mecca), a minbar (pulpit), and a large chandelier.

Today, the Yıldız Hamidiye Camii continues to serve as an active place of worship for Muslims in Istanbul, and it is also a popular tourist attraction. Visitors can admire the beautiful architecture and decoration of the mosque, and also learn more about the rich history and culture of Istanbul and the Ottoman Empire.

The most beautiful mosque i've ever seen

I must say this Mosque is absolutely beautiful - and my favorite in all Istanbul. Wow!

Really nice mosque, stunning interior, unique decoration

Amazing beautiful mosque

Siltan Abdulhamid has his own carpentry work installed in his mosque which is named Hamidiye after him. The craftsmanship of Sultan Abdulhamid is unique and a true masterpiece. I have not heard or seen another monarch who has a monument built for him and has his own hand work in it.

This Mosque is one of Istanbul's best kept secrets. I had it to myself and one friendly cat. Amazing colors and beautifully done.

THE. MOST. AMAZING. MASJID. I. HAVE. EVER. SEEN.

This mosque is a sight to behold. Inside and out it is a treasure of İstanbul.

Beautiful Musjid, Different decor than the usual Ottoman style
