Greetings!
So on a sunny day I took a short walk with my friend @alex1923.
We walked around the city of Mangalia looking for some places to make cool photos and we found a Mosque that was open ...
With respect we asked if it was possible to enter and make a photo or two...and we received the OK
The Esmahan Sultan Mosque in Mangalia is the oldest Muslim cult site in Romania that was built in 1575.
The Mosque is surrounded by a Mohammedan cemetery containing tombs that are 300 years old. All of that in the heart of the city, Mangalia.
The Mosque was built in the year of 1575 by the daughter of Sultan Selim II (1566-1574), who was the wife of Sokollu Mehmed Pasha, his father's vizier ("Vizir" in Romanian...it was like a minister in the Ottoman Empire )
Well I hope you liked this small history lesson, I am Cynetyc and we shall see each other in a future post!

Thank you very much @netzachh , much appreciated!
It's made in 1575, well the architecture looks like of yesterday, I sometimes get confused how they made such giant and beautiful structures those days when there weren't that much of resources available, they really were master minds and great artists, we Muslims go to Mosques for prayers and achieve inner peace, hope you achieved inner peace there.
This mosque was restored few times as Mangalia ( old historic name Callatis) and Constanta (Tomis) are actually historical places (cities) ...so much that some buildings in Constanta have to either stop constructing or make a place underneath them with glass ( like in a museum) where people can see archaeologic findings like old pottery .
Well it seems lot intresting, hope I will one day visit there
That was a very beautiful place thanks @cynetyc!
Thank you @mindlock for appreciating my work !
Very nice photos and good history lesson !
But what happend to your hand there @cynetyc?
It looks like the ¨thing¨ that Flash is doing from dc comics.
Ha ha ha ...Yeah I think I moved my hand in an instant and the camera caught the moment in a "blury state".
But overall I liked the result and upload it in my post.
Beautiful mosque and nice to see you in the mosque. Photography are excellent♥
Wow you found and historic place so cool to know the history of that place and take a look to the past, it look small but full of interesting things to know.
The great ottoman empire presented such excellent works everywhere he went.
A great share. I congratulate you. For accurate information and high quality sharing ..
Cool..
Amazing clicks my friend
Mosque still stands after so many years ...that is Great ...Thanks to Allah....
And you have made it there it is great otherwise i have seen many ill people always fussing about muslims are terrorists....i am glad you are different from them...thanks mate...
Yes ...this is a problem I'm afraid...
With the past attacks in Europe many people have a fear ...over Muslims.
But this is not the case in my place witch is a very old part of Romania called Dobrogea.
Here people know the difference between a Muslim and a extremist.
In 2 Mai witch is my village we have:
Yeah so all that is just in my little village of 2248 people. (last count in 2002)
We live and function as a good oiled machine ...and we have a good understanding of one and the other.
I really hope that the rest of the world...will understand too...
Ottoman, has built such beautiful works everywhere it goes ..
thank you for visiting this holy work and sharing it @cynetyc
The mosque though looks good on the outside and that garden around it is fantastic. In other circumstamces it would have been great to visit it in the inside.
There's a small entrance fee - I think 5 Lei. The mosque is easy to find, and I can't say the latter for the ancient archeological ruins which should have been nearby, but nobody could guide us properly in English for the direction.
You make a very good point @jahangirwifii!
We have places full of history in my country but not all the places can have a guide . This issue was discussed by our government but I do not know when they will implement a change.
The popular places of Romania have a English guide but still there a lot room for improvement.
For example in Bulgaria there are many places where they accept RON as a currency and for Romanians this is great. Even some of the restaurants have the menu in Ron and local currency.
We could have something similar...and it can be a very good improvement.
Marvelous! It's a historical and well maintained mosque. The inner view is more glorious and imposing. I am sure you enjoyed your visit to it. I can say it will be your memorable visit. Your last photo is a bit blurry! Were you walking while the photo was captured?
MASHALLAH <3
