Great Mecidiye Mosque, also known as Ortaköy Mosque, is one of the 19th century mosques located on the European side of the Bosphorus. It was built on the order of Sultan Abdülmecit, by the architect Nigoğos Balyan in 1853. The mosque was designed in neo-baroque style, according to the preferred architecural fashions of the period. After the earthquake in 1894, the cone of the minaret was repaired. In 1960 the mosque was near to collapse, so the foundation was improved with reinforcements. The building was again renovated after it was destroyed by fire in 1984. From 2011 - 2014 the Pious Foundation ran a full restoration project and the mosque reopened to visitors and for religious services on June 6, 2014.

Halk arasında Ortaköy Camii olarak bilinen Büyük Mecidiye Camii, Boğaziçi’nin Rumeli yakasındaki 19 yüzyıl camilerindendir. 1853’te Sultan Abdülmecit tarafından mimar Nigoğos Balyan’a yaptırılan cami, dönemin eğilimine uygun olarak neo-barok üsluptadır. 1894’teki depremden sonra minaresinin külah bölümü onarılan cami, 1960’ta göçme tehlikesi nedeniyle temel güçlendirme çalışmasından geçirildi, 1984’te atlattığı yangının ardından da kapsamlı şekilde restore edildi. Son olarak, Vakıflar Genel Müdürlüğü tarafından 2011-2014 yıllarında yürütülen restorasyon çalışmasının ardından 6 Haziran 2014’te yeniden ibadet ve ziyarete açıldı.
