We walked around the city of Mangalia looking for some places to make cool photos and we found a Mosque that was open ...
With respect we asked if it was possible to enter and make a photo or two...and we received the OK
The Esmahan Sultan Mosque in Mangalia is the oldest Muslim cult site in Romania that was built in 1575.
The Mosque is surrounded by a Mohammedan cemetery containing tombs that are 300 years old. All of that in the heart of the city, Mangalia.
The Mosque was built in the year of 1575 by the daughter of Sultan Selim II (1566-1574), who was the wife of Sokollu Mehmed Pasha, his father's vizier ("Vizir" in Romanian...it was like a minister in the Ottoman Empire )
