Gülbahar Hatun Camii

TIME : 2016/2/19 2:49:06

Sultan Selim I the Grim, the great Ottoman conqueror of Syria and Egypt, built this mosque southwest of the bazaar in 1514 in honour of his mother, Gülbahar Hatun. Next to it are a tea garden and reconstructed wooden serender (granary). It's a pleasant walk west from the centre over Tabakhane Bridge, with plant nursery below it. Soon after crossing the next bridge (Zaǧnos Köprüsü), turn left.
