The mosque was commissioned by the Ottoman sultan [[Abdul Hamid II]], and constructed between 1884 and 1886. The mosque was built on a rectangular plan and has one [[minaret]]. The architecture of the mosque is a combination of [[Neo-Gothic]] style and classical Ottoman motifs. A bronze colonnade erected by Abdul Hamid II in [[Marjeh Square]] of [[Damascus]], [[Syria]] bears a replica statue of the Yıldız Mosque on top. On 4 August 2017, the mosque was reopened by President [[Recep Tayyip Erdogan]] after 4 years of restoration work that cost 27 million Turkish liras ($7.6 million).<ref>{{cite web\|url=http://aa.com.tr/en/culture-and-art/erdogan-reopens-historic-mosque-in-istanbul/876509\|title=Erdogan reopens historic mosque in Istanbul\|date=4 August 2016\|publisher=Anadolu Agency}}</ref> == Assassination attempt of Abdul Hamid II == [[File:Istanbul asv2021-10 img11 Yıldız Hamidiye Mosque.jpg\|thumb\|~~right~~left\|250px\|Interior of the dome]]▼ [[File:Istanbul - Abdullah brothers - Viçen (1820-1902), Hovsep (1830-1908), Kevork (1839-1918) pre 1895.jpg\|thumb\|right\|250px\|Yıldız Hamidiye mosque during an Ottoman state ceremony in the late 19th century.]] ▲[[File:Istanbul asv2021-10 img11 Yıldız Hamidiye Mosque.jpg\|thumb\|right\|250px\|Interior of the dome]] On 21 July 1905, members of the [[Armenian Revolutionary Federation]] attempted to assassinate [[Abdul Hamid II]] by placing a horse carriage bomb in front of the mosque, an event known as the [[Yıldız assassination attempt]]. Although the bomb failed to kill the sultan due to an unforeseen delay, it killed 26 others and wounded 58 more. The attempt was in response to the pogroms and massacres against Armenians and other minorities of the Ottoman Empire carried out by Abdul Hamid II's government, the [[Hamidian massacres]].
