Jummah Mubarak.
I just fell in love with this small 16th century Masjid. Subhan'Allah what a pretty little Masjid.
We prayed the Jummah namaz in this beautiful Ottoman era Masjid, Alhamdulillah. There were about 50 people, mostly local Romanians of Turkish and Tatar origin.
This little masjid, built in 1573, is the oldest masjid in Romania.
It is located in Mangalia, Romania, around 5 minutes walk from the beach area, and was built by Esmahan, the daughter of the Ottoman ruler, Selim II, and named after herself.
I was wondering why this masjid was built in this particularly small city. In the 16th century this city was an active trading port for the Ottoman Empire, so the sailors and traders were perhaps searching for a place for prayer, so I am guessing, Esmahan made this purpose built Masjid to serve those arriving in the city from the ships sailing into its port. Today, it mainly serves the 800 or so Turkish and Tatar families here.
Its design is simple, yet elegant inside, nothing extravagant, but still maintaining an air of peacefulness and calmness.
Outside, it is surrounded by gardens and a graveyard, which houses graves more than 300 years old.
This Masjid is one of the major tourist attractions in this small town.
May Allah(SWT) guide us all in the right path.
