Burhaniye, Üsküdar

Burhaniye is a neighborhood in the Üsküdar municipality on the Asian side of Istanbul, Turkey. Burhaniye is mostly a residential neighborhood, with few historic houses and buildings. It is bordered on the north by Beylerbeyi and Küplüce, on the east by Kısıklı, on the south by Küçükçamlıca, and on the west by Altunizade and Kuzguncuk.

The neighborhood was settled by refugees from the 1876 April Uprising in Bulgaria and was first known as Muhacir Köyü (Refugee Village). The neighborhood takes its present name from the Burhaniye Mosque, built in 1902 by Sultan Abdul Hamid II for his son Burhanettin Efendi.[1]

In addition to the Burhaniye Mosque, mosques in the neighborhood include Oğuzhan Mosque, Akabe Mosque, and Polis Evleri Mosque.
