One of Üsküdar’s many mosques (not to be confused with the Yeni Cami in Eminönü), this handsome 1710 building has an attractive wooden façade. Its darkened stones gave it a feeling of dignified neglect, now being banished by over-vigorous restoration. It was built by Ahmed III’s mother, who lies in a beautiful birdcage tomb open to the elements under an ironwork dome.
