Amberiye Mosque

The Ambariya Mosque ( Arabic مسجد العنبرية, Masjid al 'Anbariyah , Turkish Amberiye Mescidi ) is an Ottoman mosque in Medina , in what is now Saudi Arabia . It was built in 1908 by the Ottoman Sultan Abdülhamid II as a supplement to the Hejaz Railway at the al-Muazzam train station. The stone mosque, built in the typical Ottoman style , has one large, two medium-sized and three smaller domes as well as two minarets with a balcony and a pointed cone roof.

The mosque is one of the few historical structures in the city that was not torn down and destroyed by the Saudi government.
