Catalogue Note
The Molla Çelebi Mosque is located in the Fındıklı neighbourhood of the Beyoğlu district of Istanbul, on the shores of the Bosphorus. It was built in 1561-2 by Ottoman architect Mimar Sinan under the order of Kazasker Mehmet Vusuli Efendi, Chief Judge of Constantinople. Preziosi's view affords a fascinating glimpse of the area as it looked in the mid nineteenth century.
