Nakşidil Valide Sultan was the wife of Abdül Hamit I and mother of Mahmut II. Her mausoleum is in the style of baroque-Empire, near the Fatih Mosque. The türbe has 14 sides, with unique oval windows in the upper row of two rows of windows. With its slender (too slender) columns Strolling through Istanbul considers it to be a very original and entertaining building. So do I, I’ve always wanted to see more of it, and during a 2018 restoration I entered a gate at the Fatih Türbesi Sokak and found myself in front of its entrance. To the right side of the same courtyard another türbe was being restored, that of Gülüstü Valide Sultan, mother of Mehmet VI Vahdettin, the last Ottoman Sultan. Of that I only show an image builders wrapped around it.
