Duck into Laleli Mosque, an 18th-century imperial mosque tucked among Laleli's bustling streets. Look up at its Baroque-influenced dome, admire the interior decoration, and enjoy the calm that contrasts with the market outside.

📖

Full description

Laleli Mosque is an 18th-century Ottoman imperial mosque designed in the Baroque style, with a central dome and slender minarets set among the hotels and markets of Laleli. Visitors note that it is less well known than the main tourist mosques, so the interior tends to be calmer, and they praise its decoration.

It is free and open at all hours, and a typical visit lasts around 15 minutes. The neighbourhood is busy, but the mosque itself offers a quiet pause, and the call to prayer is a memorable part of staying nearby.

Reviews

Such a beautiful mosque! Since it is not known among touristic places in Istanbul, there were less people than average. The interior decoration was amazing.
