|
Located in the old Jewish Quarter of Istanbul,
Yeni Cami was started by Sultan Mehmed VI who had certain difficulties during
the construction. When the foundations of the mosque was being laid down, the
area flooded with the sea water. when the walls of the mosque were few meters
high, whole district was burnt down by a great fire. 
Then Sultan Mehmed and
architect of the mosque died in a successive way. People considering something
was wrong with this mosque, they stopped the work and Yenicamii stayed untouched
for nearly 35 years. Eventually, Valide Turhan Sultan had the mosque finished
and opened to public in 17th century.
