Abstract
Travelogues also contain much information about the architectural structures of the countries in which they were written by satisfying the curiosity of societies towards different civilizations. Istanbul is a cosmopolitan city that has attracted the attention of travelers at all times, architectural or geographical. Travelers who come to Istanbul for different reasons describe and convey many architectural structures in their travelogues. At the top of these architectural structures is a place of worship different from their religion, namely, mosques. In most of the city panoramas depicted in the engravings, mosques are silhouettes, while in the engravings depicting urban architecture, they are the central motif of the composition. This study examined how mosques are reflected in the travel records of travelers who came to Istanbul in different centuries and what representations they convey in the engravings.
