Sultanahmet Camii (Blue Mosque)

Description

Built in 1609-1616 under the ruler Sultan Ahmet I, this mosque is the only one with six minarets. It is called the Blue Mosque due to the 20,000 blue and green toned tiles adorning its ceiling. The hand printed Iznik tiles, 260 stained windows, the impeccable architectural expertise waits to amaze you with its beauty. The Hunkar Mansion, now Carpet and Kilim Museum and Arasta, a bazaar are the two main attractions.

peaceful and impressive

By A Yahoo! Contributor, 12/24/06

It is so closed to Hagia Sophia. I think that area with these two different and impressive workship building is center of peace between religions.

you should see where pope prays

By gio, 12/13/06

here is very peacuful and nice place to visit. very near to other historical places like topkapi palace and aya sofya(in native language). if you decided to visit the blue mosque where pope prays in his last visit to t�rkiye be sure to bring lots memory sticks with you (you will see lots of scenes to pic)

Defines Istanbul

By A Yahoo! Contributor, 6/6/07

An excellent beautiful Mosque thats still in use so try to avoid going on Friday cause you wont be able to get in while they are in Prayer. Worth the time to see it, plus its FREE!!!!

BELIVE ME, IT WAS GREAT

By A Yahoo! Contributor, 6/4/07

I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT THE WHOLE TURKEY IS GREAT, NOT JUST ISTANBUL OR BLUE MOSQUE. MAYBE WE SHOULD HEAR MORE ABOUT IT BY A TURKISH MAN, OR BOY/GIRL... I WOULD RECOMEND IT TO ALL, IT IS WORTH YOUR MONEY

Nice & Interesting

By JR, 8/16/06

I think that it's a really nice place to visit. remember women must cover their heads /hair and shoulders. No shorts allowed in this place. Doesnt cost a dime, donations are suggested.

Beautiful Place!

By A Yahoo! Contributor, 6/20/06

The Sultan Ahmet Mosque is one of my favorites. It is so beautiful! The Blue makes it look so peaceful and quiet. It is an amazing place and you dont have to be Muslim to go inside and see! Great History and Art Inside as well as outside. Great people and atmosphere. Very, very peaceful and quiet! A must see!
