Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found.
The Amberiye mosque (Amberiye mescidi), Hamidiye mosque or mosque of el-Anbareia is a historical mosque built by the Ottoman Turks in Medina, which is nowadays part of Saudi Arabia.
It was built in 1908 by the Ottoman Sultan Abdülhamid II and is one of the few historic buildings which were not destroyed by the Saudi government. Most of the antique or Ottoman historical buildings like the Ajyad Fortress were destroyed by the Saudi government as part of the Wahhabi/Salafi ideology which rejects antique buildings as well as buildings which don't belong to their Salafi/Takfiri sect.
The Amberiye mosque was built as part of the Hejaz Railway project next to the el-Muazzem Railway Station.
