Eyüp Sultan Camii’nin Bilinmeyenleri | İlber Ortaylı ile Tarih Dersleri

Eyüp, which was merely an empty meadow before the conquest of Istanbul, became the spiritual heart of the empire when Akşemsettin discovered the tomb of Abu Ayyub al-Ansari. In this episode, with the unique narration of Prof. Dr. İlber Ortaylı, we explore the tumultuous history of the Eyüp Sultan Mosque, whose construction dates back to 1458, even before Topkapı Palace, and the Mevlevi influences of Sultan Selim III. In this episode, you will also learn about the architectural genius of the Zal Mahmut Pasha Mosque, which at first glance resembles an "orange crate" but exhibits a magnificent harmony with the hills overlooking the Golden Horn, and the dark role of this vizier in the execution of Prince Mustafa. In this history lesson, you will discover the picturesque world of Eyüp, from the silent witness of a vast "necropolis" stretching from Ebussuud Efendi to Necip Fazıl, to the 15th-century Selahi Mehmet Bey Mosque, a prime example of neighborhood culture. In this program, first aired in 2014, under the unique guidance of Prof. Dr. İlber Ortaylı, each episode takes us to a different point in history; we explore a wide range of topics, from imperial history to architectural geniuses.
