History

The Rüstem Pasha Mosque was designed by Ottoman imperial architect Mimar Sinan for Grand Vizier Damat Rüstem Pasha (husband of one of the daughters of Suleiman the Magnificent, Princess Mihrimah). Its building took place from 1561 to 1563. [2]

The mosque was built on a high terrace over a complex of vaulted shops, whose rents were intended to financially support the mosque complex. Narrow, twisting interior flights of steps in the corners give access to a spacious courtyard. The mosque has a double porch with five domed bays, from which projects a deep and low roof supported by a row of columns. [3]
[edit]Interior
The Rüstem Pasha Mosque is famous for its large quantities of exquisite İznik tiles, set in a very wide variety of beautiful floral and geometric designs, which cover not only the façade of the porch but also the mihrab, minbar, walls, columns and on the façade of the porch outside. These tiles exhibit the use of a tomato-red color characteristic of the early Iznik period (1555-1620), and no other mosque in Istanbul makes such a lavish use of these tiles. [4]
The plan of the building is basically that of an octagon inscribed in a rectangle. The main dome rests on four semi-domes; not on the axes but in the diagonals of the building. The arches of the dome spring from four octagonal pillars— two on the north, two on the south— and from piers projecting from the east and west walls. To the north and south are galleries supported by pillars and by small marble columns between them. [3]

Tarihçe [değiştir]

Kanuni Sultan Süleyman'ın vezirlerinden ve aynı zamanda damadı olan Rüstem Paşa için Mimar Sinan'a yaptırıldı (1561). Caminin yerinde önce Halil Efendi Mescidi vardı. Bu mescidin yeri çukurda kaldığı için Mimar Sinan, mescidin altına dükkânlar yaparak bir subasman meydana getirdi. Rüstem Paşa Camii, mescidin yerinde kuruldu.
Mimari [değiştir]

Camiye iki yandan merdivenle çıkılır. Planı dikdörtgendir, merkezi kubbe kemerlerle dört fil ayağına ve sütunlara oturur. Son cemaat yeri altı sütunlu ve beş kubbelidir. Önüne sonradan kemerler, sütunlar ve ahşap çatılı, saçaklı bir kısım eklendi. Rüstem Paşa Camii'nin kubbe eteklerine kadar her tarafı çinilerle kaplıdır. Özellikle lale motifli çiniler, Osmanlı çini sanatının en başarılı örneklerinden sayılır. Caminin şadırvanı sol taraftadır.

Histoire [modifier]

De 1560 à 1564, l'architecte ottoman Sinan construit pour le Grand Vizir Rüstem Pacha, époux de Mihrimah, fille préférée de Soliman le Magnifique et de Roxelane , la mosquée de Rüstem Pacha à Istanbul, dans le quartier d'Eminönü, à la pointe de la presqu'île du vieux Constantinople. Sa petit taille et ses proportions font d'elle le parfait exemple de l'art ottoman, voire un de ses chefs-d'œuvre1, notamment dans ses décorations florales (œillets, marguerites, tulipes, lys et lilas) et son revêtement de carreaux de faïence d'Iznik qui ornent les murs intérieures et les parois du péristyle.
La mosquée se trouve au-dessus d'une arcade de magasins et surplombe les rues bordées de caravansérails, dont la construction remonte parfois à l'époque byzantine. Une restauration récente l'a mise en valeur, mais le tremblement de terre de 1999 a endommagé les petits dômes.
