Mosque of Mangalia Photo

Photographer’s Note

The Esmahan Sultan Mosque in the city of Mangalia. An impressive monument, highly representative for Muslim arts, built in Mauro style, the Esmahan Sultan Mosque is one of the oldest mosques in Romania and the only medieval monument of Mangalia. During the XVI century, the princess Esma, daughter of Selmi (1566-1574) and wife of the high vizier Sokollu-Mehmet Pasha (1565-1579), took refuge to Mangalia. The Esmahan Sultan Mosque was built in 1573 or in 931 according to the Muslim calendar Hadjira, in the memory of Solyman II, one of the greates rulers of the Ottoman Empire of that time, by his daughter. In the courtyard of the mosque there is a number of tombs where high-rank persons of time were buried.

Good morning neighbour,
To me this looks like a rather unusual mosque, more like an ordinary building with an attached minaret. Nevertheless it's an interesting photo, and the gravestones make a suitable foreground.
Regards,
Gert

Hello Mikolaj,
A fine capture of this lovely mosque captured under a good light. I like the point of view which allows us to appreciate the two façades. The stonework is well rendered with beautiful tones and very good clarity.

dear Mikolaj Kawa,
this light and colors are very bright and clear,
and surrounding shadow of trees and graves are not dark.
this shot is simply the shining and impressive record of one building in the wood, in my feeling.
thank you for your cheerful shot,
Akihisa

Siemka Mikolaj!
Niec nie wiem i meczetach, ale ten mnie sie podoba. Fajny mocny kontrast. Cienie po bokach i mocno naswietlona architekturka w srodku kadru.
Serwus!

Ciekawe ujecie, prawie symetryczne. Piekna egzotyczna budowla, bardzo stara, wiec budzi respekt. Przepiekne niebo. Kolory na pokaz.

Witaj Mikolaju!
Piekny ten meczet, taki zawrty, powiedzialbym wsobny. Ciekawa musi byc mniejszosc muzulmanska w Rumunii. Ladne swiatlo, centralne i czyste. Dobra ostrosc.
Serdecznosci!
