Detail InformationEdit

Arap Mosque is a mosque in the Galata quarter of Istanbul, Turkey. It was built in 1325 by the friars of the Dominican Order near or above a former 13th century Roman Catholic chapel devoted to Saint Paul in 1233. Although the structure was altered during the Ottoman period, it represents the only example of religious Gothic Architecture still extant in Istanbul.
The church was converted into a mosque by the Ottomans between 1475 and 1478, during the reign of Sultan Mehmed II, and became known as the Galata Mosque. It was later given by Sultan Bayezid II to the Muslim Arab refugees from Al-Andalus who – together with the Sephardic Jews – escaped the Spanish Inquisition in 1492 and settled in the Galata neighborhood of Istanbul (hence its current name, Arab Mosque.)
Today, Arap Camii is the largest mosque on the Galata Side of the Golden Horn. It is one of the most interesting mosques in The City due to its early Italian Gothic architectural style and church belfry, which has practically remained unaltered even after being converted into a minaret.
