    A masterpiece of Ottoman architecture at its finest. Visit to contemplate, admire and soak in the elegant details and history.  more »

    My 2nd favorite mosque in Istanbul (Hagia Sophia being the first)! So peaceful and attractive! Busy streets outside, but you wouldn't know it inside. Really nice!  more »

  • By Rashid Lalloo
    Come and listen to the imam with golden voice reciting quranic verses. This mosque is comparable to Blue Mosque, Soleiman. Deep in history, byzantine architecture and amazing central dome and ceiling lights.
  • By Choo Ruizhi
    Sublime, understated grandeur. This mosque is a quieter, less tourist-infested version of the Sultanahmet (Blue) Mosque. I was very moved by its intricate, ornate interior, and its grand marbled walls.
