A view of interior Yıldız Hamidiye Mosque and some decorative elements on Ottoman Motifs. The mosque is located on the way to the Yıldız Palace ~Turkish: Yıldız Sarayı, is situated above Barbaros Boulevard in Beşiktaş District of Şehr-i İstanbul, Turkey. The principal name of the mosque is Hamidiye Mosque, built in 1885 by Sultan Abdülhamit II. (1842 – 1918). It is rather far from the traditional Ottoman architectural style in its architectural scheme and decorative elements. Neo-Gothic style windows and muqarnas lines add a different complexion on the tambour of the mosque. Gold leaf and the unprecedented star-shaped engravments on the blue decorations/adornments of the dome are beautiful examples of the rich engraving of the mosque.
