Architecture in the provinces
It was only in the 1750s that the Ottoman Baroque style began to appear outside Istanbul. The Cihanoğlu Mosque in Aydın (1756), mentioned above, is among the early examples. During the reign of Abdülhamid I, two notable provincial mosques were built in Baroque style in Anatolia: the Kurşunlu Mosque in Gülşehir (1779) and the Çapanoğlu Mosque in Yozgat (1778, expanded in 1795). Another example during the reign of Selim III is the Izzet Pasha Mosque in Safranbolu (1796).
