The beautiful interior of the #Yenicami, or New #Mosque, in the #eminonu neighbourhood of #Constantinople, present day #Istanbul, #Turkey. The several #domes and half-domes, typical of #Ottoman religious #architecture (itself of course based on the earlier #Byzantine architecture) make for a very spiritual experience when inside.

Photo from a few years ago of Yeni Cami (New Mosque), Istanbul, Türkiye. Despite the name, it's 360 years old; building began in 1597, but it was abandoned and ruined, and damaged in a fire, before construction was completed in 1663. Travelling from Asia to Europe, crossing the Bosporus by ferry the mosque stands imposing on the seafront, making a powerful impression.
