شكل استوار گنبدي بر روي يك اتاق چها گوش كه ميراث معماري ساساني است در اين مسجد كوچك زيبا بار ديگر نمايان شده. آنرا شاه عباس روبروي قصر و به افتخار پدرزن روحانيش ساخت. اين اتاق منفرد و جالب است كه بيشتر حالت نمازخانه خصوصي دارد، در اينجا هم مثل مسجد جامع عباسی(شاه-امام) براي قرار دادن شبستان در جهت قبله نوعي تعديل به عمل آمده كه مستلزم ْ45 انحراف از محور شمالي-جنوبي ميدان بوده و براي اين منظور از پيچي ابتكاري و ناپيدا در دالان مسجد استفاده شده است.شخص وقتي داخل شبستان ميشود محراب درست روبرويش قرار گرفته است تغيير جهت از بيرون ناپيداست زيرا از بيرون تنها گنبد در بالاي ديوارها ديده ميشود كه سراسر ميدان را پر ميكند
گنبد كوتاه تك پوشه آن به قطر 12 متر بار فراوانش را كه روي ديوارهاي قطور به قطر 170قرارگرفته به بنا استحکامی آرام می بخشد

Great Mecidiye Mosque, also known as Ortaköy Mosque, is one of the 19th century mosques located on the European side of the Bosphorus. It was built on the order of Sultan Abdülmecit, by the architect Nigoğos Balyan in 1853. The mosque was designed in neo-baroque style, according to the preferred architecural fashions of the period. After the earthquake in 1894, the cone of the minaret was repaired. In 1960 the mosque was near to collapse, so the foundation was improved with reinforcements. The building was again renovated after it was destroyed by fire in 1984. From 2011 - 2014 the Pious Foundation ran a full restoration project and the mosque reopened to visitors and for religious services on June 6, 2014.
