Yeni Mosque
Јени џамија
An Ottoman mosque built in 1558, now used as an art exhibition hall, with its minaret and the clock tower facing each other across the street.
Yeni Mosque, meaning “New Mosque,” was built in 1558. Its square main hall is topped with a lead-covered dome, and the minaret is about 40 meters tall. The interior preserves exquisite stalactite decoration and painted ceramic tiles. After World War II it ceased to serve as a place of worship, and it is now used by cultural institutions as a contemporary art gallery, holding painting and photography exhibitions irregularly. Visitors can go inside when there is an exhibition. It is within a few minutes' walk of the clock tower, the Ishak Çelebi Mosque and the Bezisten. The exterior can be viewed for free.
Opening hours
During exhibitions, about 10:00–18:00
