Bezmiâlem Valide Sultan Mosque (commonly known as Dolmabahçe Mosque, 1852-
1855, Istanbul) has not been properly valued in the history of Ottoman architecture.
The prevalent view is that Ottoman mosques of the 18th and 19th centuries degenerated
from the Golden Age because more importance was attached to decoration rather than
structure under European influences, thereby breaking with the Ottoman tradition.
However, this mosque shares, along with European elements, the following essential
characteristics with the Ottoman mosques of the Golden Age: (1) The unified space of
the prayer hall formed by the single dome without any elements dividing the space; (2)
the effects of the surroundings and the opening of the prayer hall, as well as the overall
construction of the mosque; and (3) The rectangle form topped by a semicircle found in
every part of the mosque, like the building’s form, windows, piers, and arches, among others.
