WHERE CEREMONIAL WINE WAS DISPLACED BY CEREMONIAL WATER: The Yeni Valideh Djami in Galata occupies the site of a church to St. Francis, in which the use and trading in wine so offended the abstemious Moslems (Muslims) that they burned down the edifice. The present structure was erected in 1697 by a Cretan lady who was the Sultana of Mohammed IV (1922). Click here to enlarge. |
