İcadiye

İcadiye is a neighborhood in the Üsküdar municipality on the Asian side of Istanbul, Turkey. It is centered on İcadiye Hill and is bordered on the north by Kuzguncuk, on the east by Altunizade, on the south by Selami Ali, and on the west by Sultantepe. It is mostly a residential neighborhood, with a few historic houses and buildings. The name of the neighborhood is related to the word for invention (Turkish: icat). It received this name because new types of printing presses invented by Sarkis Kalfa of Kayseri were manufactured in shops there.Several water sources on İcadiye Hill were connected to the historic center of Üsküdar during the Ottoman era. The Mihrimah Sultan Water Line was built in 1547 to bring water to the Mihrimah Sultan Mosque. The Arslan Agha Water Line was built in 1646 to bring water to fountains in Sultantepe and to the Abdi Efendi and Mihrimah Sultan Mosques.The neighborhood has a historic bathhouse, the İcadiye Dağ Hamamı, built in 1854 by Sheikh ul-Islam Arif Hikmet Beyefendi.Because of its strategic location, in the past the neighborhood was the site of two fire towers, Arapzade Tower and Ayarcıbaşı Tower.Mosques in the neighborhood include the Hacı Mehmet Ali Öztürk Mosque (1990) and the Hacı Osmanoğlu Mosque. Schools in the neighborhood include Nersesyan Yermonyan Armenian Private Kindergarten and Elementary School (as of the 2000-2001 school year, this school had no students), Fuat Baymur Elementary School, İcadiye Elementary School, and Üsküdar High School.

Altunizade Mosque
Altunizade Mosque

Altunizade Mosque (Turkish: Altunizade Camii), also known as İsmail Zühtü Pasha Mosque (Turkish: İsmail Zühtü Paşa Camii) is a 19th-century Ottoman mosque located in Istanbul, Turkey. The mosque is situated in the Altunizade neighborhood of Üsküdar district in Istanbul. It was commissioned by Altunizade İsmail Zühtü Pasha (1806–1887), who is buried in a protected place in the mosque's yard. The mosque was built in 1865. It is probably the last example of Ottoman architecture mosques in the Anatolian part of Istanbul. Initially, the mosque was part of a social complex (Turkish: külliye) consisting of an infant school, a Turkish bath, a time-keeping office for prayer, a fountain, lodgings for the imam, the worship leader, and the muezzin, the caller of prayer, a bakery and some shops. However, only some shops of the social complex of the mosque are preserved. The mosque is today in a very good state.The mosqıe was designed in Baroque Revival architecture, which can be identified at least by its large windows. Mosques built of this style are examples of the last Ottoman Empire era. It is situated in a small courtyard, which has three gates. An inscription is found above the biggest gate. Another inscription is attached to the outside of the wall facing Kaaba in Mecca. The narthex was constructed as a covered place. Three doors in the narthex, one big and two small ones, lead to the sanctuary. An ornamented small mihrab, a niche, is built in the wall of the narthex for prayer during the mosque's closed time. Two wooden staircases flanking the narthex lead to women's and muezzin section. The quadratic-plan mosque was constructed in limestone ashlar. Its inside is plastered. The sanctuary's walls are ornamented with hand-carved figures. The mosque has one dome, which is supported by four arches carried by four columns in the mosque's corners. The dome's inner surface is sliced in 16 zones by eight pieces of two designs. The center of the dome is blue colored to draw attention, and contains a Quran verse. The marble minbar is designed in the form of a drinking glass as seen in Hırka-i Şerif Mosque. The windows are unusual big as an example of the Baroque Revival architectural style. The mosque has one minaret with one balcony. It rises up on a quadratic base. The minaret's spire is made of stone in contrast to the lead sheet covered spires seen in the classical Ottoman mosque architecture. The spire is designed in the form of a grand vizier's turban. A decorative line of stars is found in the mid of the minaret. In the lower row, there are three big windows at the side walls and two big ones flank the wall of mihrab. In the upper row, there are again three windows on each side, however, two small windows flank the big one in the middle.
