The Selimiye Mosque ( tr, (Büyük) Selimiye Camii, lit=(Great) Mosque of Selim) is a mosque in the district of Üsküdar in İstanbul, Turkey, near the Selimiye Barracks. It was commissioned by Ottoman Sultan Selim III (reigned 1789–1807) and built between 1801 and 1805. Background The Selimiye mosque complex was built by Selim III between 1801 and 1805. It is located next to the Selimiye Barracks, the largest Ottoman barracks built in this period, which was constructed between 1800 and 1803. This building was burned down by rebel Janissaries in 1812 but was rebuilt in stone by Mahmud II between 1825 and 1828 and further expanded into its current form by Abdülmecid I between 1842 and 1853.

The Selimiye Mosque ( tr, Selimiye Camii) is an Ottoman imperial mosque, which is located in the city of Edirne (formerly Adrianople), Turkey. The mosque was commissioned by Sultan Selim II, and was built by the imperial architect Mimar Sinan between 1568 and 1575. It was considered by Sinan to be his masterpiece and is one of the highest achievements of Islamic architecture as a whole and Ottoman architecture in particular. The mosque, together with its ''külliye'', was included on UNESCO's World Heritage List in 2011. History The Selimiye Mosque was built at the peak of Ottoman military and cultural power. As the empire started to grow, the emperor sought to centralize Edirne. Sinan was asked to help to construct the Selimiye Mosque, making the mosque distinctive and serving the purpose of centralizing the city. The mosque was begun in 1568 and completed in 1574 or 1575.

Selimiye Mosque, Konya
Selimiye Mosque (Selim II Mosque, tr, Selimiye Camisi) is a 16th-century Ottoman mosque in Konya, Turkey. Location The mosque is in the Karatay secondary municipality of Konya. It is situated in the business center of the city to the east of the Aziziye Mosque. The mosque was built next to the funerary shrine complex of Mevlana Celalüddin Rumi, a Persian sufi mystic (today the Mevlâna Museum). History The mosque had been commissioned in 1558 by Selim II while he was still a şehzade (prince) working as a sanjak governor. Although the mosque was constructed while Mimar Sinan held the post of chief architect, the building is not listed in any of his autobiographies. In Konya Sinan only lists the renovation of a hospice. The construction was completed in 1570 after Selim became the sultan. Later it was repaired three times; in 1685, 1816 and 1914.
