Ortaköy Mosque, officially known as the Büyük Mecidiye Camii, stands on the Bosphorus shore in Istanbul's Beşiktaş district, beside the harbour of Ortaköy. It takes its name from both its patron, Sultan Abdülmecid, and the neighbourhood in which it stands. The architect was Garabet Balyan. The building is an Ottoman-period mosque described as Neo-Baroque in style, and it was completed in 1856.

From Wikipedia

Ortaköy Mosque (Turkish: Ortaköy Camii), formally the Büyük Mecidiye Camii (Turkish: Büyük Mecidiye Camii, lit. 'Great Mosque of Sultan Abdulmejid') in Beşiktaş, Istanbul, Turkey, is a mosque situated at the waterside of the Ortaköy pier square, one of the most popular locations on the Bosphorus. It was commissioned by the Ottoman sultan Abdülmecid I, and its construction was completed around 1854 or 1856.

This structure is symbolic of the district of Ortaköy and is often photographed, as it offers a distinctive view of the Bosphorus Strait of Istanbul and the Bosphorus Bridge.
