Üsküdar is the most historically layered and most spiritually significant district of Asian Istanbul — a neighbourhood of 600,000 inhabitants on the Bosphorus shore directly opposite the old city, whose skyline of mosque domes and minarets (the Mihrimah Sultan Mosque by Sinan, 1548; the Yeni Valide Mosque, 1710; the Şemsi Paşa Mosque, the tiniest and most perfectly sited mosque in Istanbul, on a breakwater extending into the Bosphorus) creates the most beautiful silhouette on the Asian shore. Üsküdar was the traditional departure point for the Mecca pilgrimage caravans (the Surre Alayı, the annual procession of gifts to the Holy Cities) and retains a more conservative and more authentically Ottoman character than any other Istanbul neighbourhood.
Üsküdar's most celebrated attractions include the Maiden's Tower (Kız Kulesi — the small Byzantine and Ottoman tower on a tiny island 200 metres offshore in the Bosphorus, one of the most iconic landmarks of Istanbul), the Çamlıca Hill (the highest point on the Asian shore, 268 metres, with the new Çamlıca Mosque — the largest mosque built in Turkey in the 20th century, completed 2019, its six minarets dominating the Asian skyline — and the panoramic views over both shores of the Bosphorus and the Sea of Marmara), and the Atik Valide Mosque complex (1583, Sinan's largest and most complete kulliye complex, the finest example of the full Ottoman mosque complex in Istanbul). The neighbourhood's traditional yalıs (Bosphorus waterfront mansions), meyhanes and the Sunday antique market give it an authentic Istanbul character.
Maiden's Tower and Bosphorus Silhouette: The Maiden's Tower (Kız Kulesi, Byzantine and Ottoman, on a tiny Bosphorus island) — the most iconic image of Asian Istanbul and the symbol of the Bosphorus crossing — and Üsküdar's extraordinary skyline of Sinan's mosques (the Mihrimah Sultan Mosque, 1548; the Şemsi Paşa Mosque on its Bosphorus breakwater) create the most beautiful view of the Asian shore from the European ferries.
Atik Valide Mosque — Sinan's Greatest Kulliye: The Atik Valide Mosque complex (1583, Mimar Sinan) — with its mosque, medrese, imaret, hospital and caravanserai forming the most complete and most architecturally accomplished kulliye (mosque complex) in Istanbul — is the greatest single work of Ottoman religious architecture on the Asian shore, superior in completeness and quality to any comparable complex outside the historic peninsula.
