Özet:

The Great Mecidiye Mosque, today widely referred to as the Ortaköy Mosque, was built by Sultan Abdülmecid and opened to worship in 1854.It is a beach mosque built in the years when the Ottoman government moved to Boğaziçi. The building represents the late Ottoman architecture with the plan scheme, if necessary with the grinding characteristics. The architect of Cami is mostly referred to as Nigoğos Balyan, but there are opposite opinions. In this article, the front formation of the Great Mecidiye Mosque will be studied in the context of architectural elements and cutting objects. Finally, a formal analysis of the fronts of the Great Mecidya Mosque, which is used with a selective approach and a new interpretation of the European statues called the Western of the time, will be made.
