The Yeni Valide Mosque in Usküdar, Istanbul, Turkey. The name means ‘New Mosque of the Sultan's Mother’, and it was built in 1710 by Ahmet III in honour of his mother. Usküdar is separated from the main city of Istanbul by the Bosphorus, and is thus in Asia, not Europe.

Suburb of Istanbul, Turkey; formerly a separate town, which under the name Scutari was the site of the hospital set up by Florence Nightingale during the Crimean War.
