New Mosque Review

The restoration project is relatively large, and the facade is basically wrapped. This is a very traditional local place. When I went there, the building was full of people inside and outside. Some female tourists did not wear a headscarf, and the people at the door also greeted them to visit.

After a pleasant lunch, go downstairs and walk to the Jeni Mosque. There are many people sitting on the steps at the gate of the mosque. The pigeon house at the gate is also a common shooting spot for many photographers. Pigeons stood in line on the edge of the window outside the mosque. The weather is very good and the visitors are like knitting. The air was filled with the smell of vacation. Standing there to take pictures, local people will ask for a group photo.

It's a beautiful mosque, and it's very famous all over the world. Especially its exterior design is like a popular treasure. It's a bit like coming to the fairy tale world, but it's a bit of a sense of time after the vicissitudes of history.

In Istanbul, a 400-year-old mosque will also be called a new building. The Jeni Mosque built in 1597 means a new mosque. Walking into the Yili Mosque, she is similar to the Blue Mosque, but has its own characteristics. They are all very spectacular. Some people say that on Friday, the mosque can not come here, but I personally think it is absolutely worth watching.

At the entrance of the Yeni Mosque, a large group of pigeons often gather, even in cold and rainy weather, they do not give up. Because here, they don't worry about "livelihood". On one side of the Pavilion there are pigeon food, a dish of 1 lira, and a continuous stream of visitors to buy. Sprinkle pigeon food into the air, and groups of pigeons will begin to dance and grab food. Although the picture is beautiful, but also be careful that occasionally they may fall. Feeding pigeons spent all their coins before they entered the Jeni Mosque. The mosque has a huge vestibule with two towering pagodas beside it. The atrium has a beautiful water spring. A series of semi-domes surround a main dome. The broad dome inside the mosque is decorated with golden leaves, carved marble and colorful tiles, which makes the mosque gorgeous. I wanted to walk around and have a good look, but I was told by the staff that the prayer time was about to start and the tourists needed to leave as soon as possible. We had to glance at it in a hurry. Sure enough, there are more and more local people coming to pray. This "box "sitting in the back of a few older Christians, it must be extraordinary status.

It's the first mosque you'll see when you arrive at Eminonu. When I visited, it was under construction on a large scale, and I was disappointed that I couldn't see the ceiling.

Located on the old side of Galata Bridge, in front of the spice market. The size of the mosque is not as large as the blue mosque, but it will feel very beautiful after entering, regardless of the carpet on the ground, or the soft light, of course, in addition to the smell of taking off shoes.

This mosque has no outer court. From the small door on the street, take off your shoes and walk directly into the Yeni Hall. The atmosphere is immediately different from the Blue Mosque. There are not many tourists here (but there is still a wooden fence in the center, and tourists are prohibited from approaching the central prayer area). The 41-meter-long square hall looks empty. But there are also believers praying, and later participated in the day tour in the itinerary. A guide told us that the form of religious life in Turkey is very flexible. Everyone has to pray at least 5 times a day. This cannot be changed, but it can be arranged according to their own working hours. It does not have to be fixed. And listening to prayers from the loudspeakers of the mosque, you can also pray at home.
