| Summary: | Raimondo D’Aronco was one of the greatest architects to have worked in the Ottoman Empire between the late 19th and the early 20th century. In 1903 he was given the task to design a small mosque in Karakoy, near Galata, which had soon become part of the city's landscape. During Menderes era, in 1958, in order to expand the road network, it was decided to relocate the mosque in Kinaliada, one of the Princes’ Islands in the Marmara Sea. The pieces of the mosque were loaded onto a ship, which ended up losing its load in the sea. About fifty years afer its disappearance, the "lost mosque" is about to be rebuilded. A project had started in 2012, but it seems now to have come to a halt. The case of the Karakoy Mosque, also known as kaybolan cami (the lost mosque), continues to divide both experts and public opinion. |
