[edit] Baroque?

Exactly who and why dubbed this mosque 'Baroque style'? To see what Baroque architecture looks like, see the relevant article — this mosque doesn't look Baroque at all. It may bear a resemblance to a Byzantine church because of the dome, but it's not Baroque, even a non-specialist can tell you that. Not every 18th-century building was Baroque, and the Ottoman Empire was not Western or Central Europe to have Baroque per se, although there was some Neo-Baroque in the 19th century (but that's a different period).
