The Great Mosque , a stone's throw from Ovidiu Square, was the first public building made of concrete in Romania (1910), a gift from King Carol I to the local Muslim community. The Mosque is built in Moorish style in honor of Sultan Mohamed II. It hosts a carpet brought in 1965 from the island of Ada Kaleh, a Sultan Abdul Hamid (1876-1909) donation , work of the famous Herek handicraft center in Turkey.
