Name: Molla Çelebi Mosque (Molla Çelebi Camii)

Location: Istanbul, Turkey

Rating: ★★★★☆

Review:

Molla Çelebi Mosque, located in the Kabataş area of Istanbul along the Bosphorus, is an elegant yet often overlooked masterpiece of Ottoman architecture. Designed by the famous architect Mimar Sinan in the 16th century, the mosque is a beautiful example of classical Ottoman design, combining simplicity with sophistication.

The mosque’s exterior is notable for its clean lines, single dome, and slender minaret. The modest size of the Molla Çelebi Mosque makes it less grandiose compared to some of Sinan’s other works, but it holds a quiet charm, with its pale stone facade and small courtyard adding to the serene atmosphere. Its proximity to the Bosphorus gives it a peaceful location, away from the hustle and bustle of the city, making it a lovely spot for reflection.

Inside, the mosque maintains an understated elegance. The prayer hall is spacious and well-lit, with a beautifully adorned dome featuring subtle geometric patterns and delicate calligraphy. The mihrab and minbar are finely crafted, showcasing the expertise of the artisans of the time. The interior design emphasizes balance and harmony, hallmarks of Sinan’s architectural style.

One of the unique aspects of Molla Çelebi Mosque is its historical significance. Built during the reign of Sultan Murad III, it was commissioned by Kazasker Mehmet Vusuli Efendi, also known as Molla Çelebi, a prominent legal scholar of the period. Its historical and cultural value adds to its appeal, particularly for those interested in Ottoman history.

The mosque’s location near the Kabataş ferry terminal and Dolmabahçe Palace makes it easily accessible and a convenient stop while exploring the surrounding area. However, due to its smaller size and less famous status, it doesn’t attract the large crowds that flock to other more iconic mosques in Istanbul. This contributes to the calm and tranquil atmosphere, which is a refreshing change for those looking to escape the busier parts of the city.

Pros:

• Designed by the famous architect Mimar Sinan • Peaceful location near the Bosphorus • Beautifully balanced and harmonious interior • Rich historical significance • Less crowded and serene atmosphere

Cons:

• Smaller and less grand compared to other Ottoman mosques • Limited on-site historical information

Overall: Molla Çelebi Mosque is a hidden gem in Istanbul, offering a tranquil and intimate experience for visitors. Its elegant design, both inside and out, reflects the mastery of Mimar Sinan, and its peaceful location along the Bosphorus makes it a perfect spot for quiet contemplation. Whether you’re an architecture enthusiast or simply looking for a serene place to visit, Molla Çelebi Mosque provides a unique glimpse into Istanbul’s rich architectural and...

Molla Çelebi Camii, halk arasında bilinen adıyla Fındıklı Camii, İstanbul’un Beyoğlu ilçesinde, Fındıklı semtinde yer alan tarihi bir Osmanlı camisidir. 1570-1584 yılları arasında inşa edilen bu cami, Osmanlı dönemi mimarisinin seçkin örneklerinden biridir ve ünlü Osmanlı mimarı Mimar Sinan tarafından yapılmıştır. Sultan II. Selim döneminde Kazasker Mehmed Vusuli Efendi, diğer adıyla Molla Çelebi, tarafından yaptırılan bu cami, hem tarihi hem de mimari açıdan büyük bir değere sahiptir.

Camiye adım attığınızda, sizi karşılayan geniş avlu ve zarif detaylar, huzur verici bir atmosfer yaratır. Caminin dış cephesi, klasik Osmanlı taş işçiliği ile süslenmiş olup, sade ama etkileyici bir tasarıma sahiptir. Caminin ana kubbesi ve zarif minaresi, yapıya ihtişam katarak Boğaz manzarasına ayrı bir güzellik katmaktadır. Cami, Fındıklı semtinin deniz kenarındaki konumuyla, İstanbul Boğazı’na nazır eşsiz bir görünüm sunar.

İç mekâna girdiğinizde, caminin ferah ve aydınlık atmosferi sizi etkiler. Yüksek tavanlar, geniş pencereler ve kubbenin içindeki zarif süslemeler, iç mekâna aydınlık ve ferah bir hava katar. Mihrabın ve minberin detaylı işçiliği, Osmanlı sanatının inceliklerini gözler önüne serer. Caminin iç mekânında kullanılan hat sanatı ve süslemeler, manevi atmosferi daha da güçlendirir.

Molla Çelebi Camii, Mimar Sinan’ın ustalık dönemi eserlerinden biri olarak kabul edilir ve onun sade ama zarif tarzını yansıtır. Caminin avlusunda yer alan şadırvan, abdest almak isteyenler için hoş bir dinlenme alanı sunar. Cami, zamanla çeşitli onarımlar geçirmiş olsa da, orijinal yapısını büyük ölçüde korumuştur.

Caminin bulunduğu Fındıklı semti, İstanbul’un tarihi dokusunu koruyan ve aynı zamanda modern yaşamın izlerini taşıyan bir bölgedir. Fındıklı, hem tarihi hem de kültürel açıdan zengin bir semttir. Caminin çevresinde yer alan parklar ve Boğaz kıyısı, ziyaretçilere İstanbul’un geçmişine dair derin bir bakış sunar.Molla Çelebi Camii, halk arasında bilinen adıyla Fındıklı Camii, İstanbul’un Beyoğlu ilçesinde, Fındıklı semtinde yer alan tarihi bir Osmanlı camisidir. 1570-1584 yılları arasında inşa edilen bu cami, Osmanlı dönemi mimarisinin seçkin örneklerinden biridir ve ünlü Osmanlı mimarı Mimar Sinan tarafından yapılmıştır.

Mimar Sinan'ın eserlerinden olup iç tasarımıyla güzel bir camiidir. Lokasyon olarak da güzel bir konumda olup Fındıklı'da yer almaktadır. (18)

Kurucusu Molla Mehmet Çelebi olup 1589'da yapılmıştır. Anakubbe ve 5 tane de yarım kubbesi bulunmaktadır. (11)

Zamanında külliyesi ve hamamıyla yapılmış olup 1950li yıllarda yol genişletme çalışmaları nedeniyle kaldırılmış. Keşke yol genişlemese de Mimar Sinan'ın eseri yerinde kalsaymış. Önünde bulunan sadrazam koca yusuf'un yaptırdığı sebil de sökülüp kabataş iskelesinin oraya tanışmış. (31)

Ulaşımı çok kolay, Beyoğlu semtine bağlı Fındıklı'da bulunmakta önünden t1 tramvayı geçmektedir. Sultanahmet, Eminönü tarafından gelenler t1 tramvayı ile fındıklı durağına gelebilirler. Beşiktaş tarafından ise direkt kabataş otobüsleri ile gelebilirsiniz. Taksim'den ise finukiler ile kabataşa gelip sonrasında yürüyebilir ya da t1 tramvayını kullanabilirsiniz. Asya tarafından gelecekler ise Kadıköy ya da Üsküdardan vapur ile kabataşa gelip ardından yine aynı yola izleyerek camiiye ulaşabilirler. (48

It is a nice mosque that was built by mimar sinan. As a location, it is in very nice place as called Fındıklı near seaside. (19

It was built in 1589. There is a main dome and around it, there are 5 dome more. (11

In that time, it was built with complex and bath but after they were removed because of expanding the ways. I wish there was no way in there but still we could see complex and bath which built by mimar sinan. (35

It is easy to reach in there. It is in Fındıklı which is in Beyoğlu district. If you want to go from old city area ( sultanahmet, hagia sofia etc) or Eminönü, you can take t1 tram to go directly Fındıklı station. If you want to go from Taksim, you can take funicular to go kabataş station and after there you can take t1 tram or you can walk. And if you want to go from asia side like Kadıköy or Üsküdar, you can take ferry to kabataş and after there...
