The reason for selecting this particular area was that it was without a permanent mosque for over 5 years following an earthquake in the region, and people were slowly moving away from their daily prayers whilst others prayed on the harsh surface.
The mosque was moved to a new location so that if another earthquake or flood occurs in the region it will not be damaged.

The Mihrimah Sultan Mosque is an Ottoman mosque located in the Edirnekapı neighborhood near the Byzantine land walls of Istanbul, Turkey. Located on the peak of the Sixth Hill near the highest point of the city, the mosque is a prominent landmark in Istanbul.
The Mihrimah Sultan Mosque was designed by Mimar Sinan ("Sinan the Architect") for the favorite daughter of Suleiman the Magnificent, Princess Mihrimah. Its building took place from 1562 to 1565. The complex has been severely damaged by earthquakes several times (including 1719, 1766, 1814 and 1894), and although efforts were made to restore the mosque, its attendant buildings received less attention. The dome was further damaged during 1999 İzmit earthquake, and required restoration, along with the upper half of the minaret.
The interior is a cube under a dome 20 m in diameter and 37 m high. On the north and south sides, triple arcades supported by granite columns open onto side aisles with galleries above, each with three domed bays. A vast amount of surface area is covered by windows, making the mosque one of the brightest lit of any of Sinan's works. Some of the windows contain stained glass.The interior stencil decorations are all modern. However, the mimbar in carved white marble is from the original construction.
As built, the Mihrimah Sultan Mosque had a külliye which included (besides madrasah) a double hamman, türbe and a low row of shops under the terrace upon which the mosque was built, whose rents were intended to financially support the mosque complex.

Mosque. This building is where the faithful pray -- on the porch in hot weather, inside when it is cooler. The front of the mosque is oriented to Mecca. The painted and carved wooden pillars and wooden ceiling are typical of mosques in this region. This prayer building is in the same complex as the entryway and minaret photo also in this set.
It’s unfortunate that the religious fanatics in Indonesia have grabbed the headlines in recent years, because, by and large, Indonesians are a very tolerant bunch indeed. This is a simple photo, and although the church is not as close to the mosque as this picture suggests, I think it makes the point. Cheers.
