The one of the beautiful mosques of Istanbul is Yeni Cami (New Mosque).
The foundation of the New Mosque, located in the place called Eminönü today, was laid in 1597. Sultan III. Safiye Sultan, who took over all the influence and authority with the name of Valide Sultan after Mehmed's accession to the throne and even started to interfere in political affairs, decided to have a mosque built when she heard the desire to raise her honor with charities and good deeds. The area around Bahçekapı, which was chosen for the construction of the mosque, was a trading place at that time due to its proximity to the customs and the port, and was a very congested and neglected Jewish and Christian neighborhood. There was a church and a synagogue within the construction boundaries of the mosque. Giving double the price for the houses to be expropriated; It was decided to repair two dilapidated temples instead of the synagogue and church.

There are lots of myths about Maiden's Tower, one of them is love of Leondros and Hero.
This legend is the legend of Leondros and Hero, who are connected to each other with a great love. On a stormy night, Leondros sees a light on the tower and jumps into the sea, thinking that his lover Hero is calling him. In fact, it is not the girl he loves who turns on the light, but someone else who knows that the lovers meet secretly and, moreover, turns off the light. Leondros, who could no longer endure the stormy night in the pitch black waters, sank into the waters of the Bosphorus. Hero cannot bear the pain of this and throws herself down from the tower. According to this legend, a lighthouse was built right where the tower is in the name of the lovers.

Maiden's Tower... Is there anyone who hasn't visited?
With both its history and beauty, the Maiden's Tower fascinates those who see it and adds beauty to the beauty of Istanbul.
The history of the Maiden's Tower dates back to the times before Christ. When we look at historical evidence, we see that the tower was first mentioned in 410 BC. The tower, built by Alcibiades of Athens, was used to control the ships passing through the Bosphorus and collect taxes.
