Beylerbeyi Mosque
The Beylerbeyi Mosque (), also known as the Hamid i-Evvel Mosque (), is a mosque located in the Beylerbeyi neighbourhood in Istanbul, Turkey. It was first built in 1777–1778 by the Ottoman sultan Abdülhamid I, but was later modified by Mahmud II in 1820–1821. Historical background Abdulhamid I (r. 1774–1789) built the Beylerbeyi Mosque in 1777–1778.

Çengelköy
Çengelköy is a neighborhood in the Üsküdar district on the Asian shore of the Bosphorus strait in Istanbul, Turkey, between the neighborhoods of Beylerbeyi and Kuleli. It is mainly a residential district. Many mansions were built there in the Ottoman period. From the 6th century, the port of Çengelköy was called ''Sophianai'' because of the palace Justin II built nearby for his consort Sophia. The name ''Çengelköy'' means "hook village" and indeed the village is nestled around a sharp turn of the Bosphorus shoreline, but the origin of the name is uncertain. One story put forward is that the village is named after the 19th-century Ottoman admiral Çengeloğlu Tahir Pasha, who had a waterside mansion built there (and there is a Çengeloğlu Street in Çengelköy). Another story derives the name from the Persian word ''çenkar'', " crab," because of the abundance of seafood in the Bosphorus there. A 16th-century Ottoman document apparently refers to the place as "Çe ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
