Mahremiye camii

From a Turkish site, translated: It is estimated to have been built between the 14th and 15th centuries. One enters from under a minaret and an eleven-step staircase a courtyard with a fountain. A wooden roof covering the prayer room sits on three arches in the middle. Two stone columns that can be rotated on either side of the mihrab are the only examples of this technique in the region.


I made a grave error calling lots of pictures by the wrong name. They actually were of the Meydan Mosque. I move them and only a few of the Mahremiye will be in their stead.
The problem partly cropped up because the mosque of the Meydan used to have a glass and wood outer wall, that later was taken away. Not realising they were of the same mosque I started locating pictures wrongly, and so forth. Thanks to video on You Tube I corrrected things.
