Sinan Kasap

The mosque was built between years 1910 and 1913 by the initiative of King Carol I of Romania on the place of Mahmudiye Mosque built during Ottoman sovereignty. It is also called as the King Mosque. I have not heard that it was called as The Great Mosque till google maps and because it is quite small mosque to call as “great”:). You can climb to the minaret by paying I think 5 Romanian lei. No payment is taken from muslims or Turks. I saluted the lady at the booth in Turkish and she let me in freely. Local Muslim community in Constanta city are from Ottoman times and are Turkish and Tatar origin that speaks a dialect of Turkish. It is a nice place to visit and to watch the city from top. There are not many historical objects within city from that period of history.
