The Ottoman Mosque was, alongside the Pavillon du Bosphore, the Ottoman Baths, and a gateway, one of the architectural structures commissioned by the Ottomans for the Exposition Universelle of 1867 in Paris. For the first time at a world’s fair, pavilions were erected in the park outside the main exhibition hall.
The plans for the Ottoman Mosque were originally made by Barborini, but when architect-decorator Léon Parvillée executed them, he modified them considerably and designed all the details himself (Exposition Universelle de 1867, 1867, p. 2). Parvillée’s mosque was based on his study of the 15th-century Yeşil Cami (Green Mosque) in Bursa; yet it was on a smaller scale than the latter, and had additional elements, such as the two fountains at the corners. It included several stucco and glass windows.
