I here put pictures that are of the mosque and its immediate surroundings. Eyüp as an area is treated elsewhere.

The Eyüp Sultan Mosque (Turkish: Eyüp Sultan Camii) is situated in the Eyüp district of Istanbul, outside the city walls near the Golden Horn. A first complex was built in 1458, under Mehmet the Conqueror. This complex fell into disrepair, and only the two minarets from an earlier restoration by Nevşehir Ibrahim Pasha were kept when Selim III ordered a new mosque to be built. This has partly a style reminiscent of the 16th century, partly Baroque features. As a result the prayer hall is old-fashioned, but mihrab and minber are very much baroque.
I almost always visit the area (not just the mosque, but the wonderful mausolea nearby, and many other treasures) when in town, if only for the festive atmosphere surrounding it. But in 2019 I received a copy of a book I had contributed several pictures to (including the front page), Ottoman Baroque by Ünver Rüstem. Of course I read it, but even after a superficial scanning of its structure I found it would be useful to add to several of my galleries, with an extra focus on the Baroque features. I mix the resulting pictures with ones I made earlier.

In 2023 I finally started sorting the pictures, but have not finished.
