The YeniCami, meaning New Mosque; originally named the Valide Sultan Mosque and later New Valide Sultan Mosque. The construction of the mosque began in 1597, ordered by Sultana Safiye, who was the wife of Sultan Murad III and later Valide Sultan (Queen Mother) of Sultan Mehmed III. She ordered the mosque in her capacity as Valide Sultan, two years after Mehmed III's ascension to the Ottoman throne in 1595. The construction took more than half a century and was completed by another Valide Sultan, Sultana Turhan Hatice, mother of Sultan Mehmed IV.

After 1603, the partially constructed structure gradually fell into ruins, and was severely damaged during the Great Fire of Istanbul which started on 24 July 1660 and, lasting for more than two days, destroyed many neighbourhoods in the city. Later that year, the imperial architect Mustafa Ağa suggested that Sultana Turhan hatice, mother of Sultan Mehmed IV, should complete the project as a work of piety. Sultana Turhan Hatice also ordered the construction of the nearby Spice Bazaar, which forms a part of the Kulliye of the New Mosque. Thus, in the last months of 1660, the construction of the mosque resumed, while the construction of the adjacent bazaar began. The mosque was finally completed in 1663, and was renamed the "New Valide Sultan Mosque" (Yeni Valide Sultan Camii). In time, this name was informally shortened as the "New Mosque" (Yeni Cami) among the public.
