About Blue Mosque

Sultan Ahmed Mosque, popularly called the Blue Mosque, after the 20,000 bluish Iznik tiles that adorn its interiors, has been drawing the faithful since the 17th century. Visit the mosque to experience its spiritual atmosphere and witness the incredible craftsmanship of the Ottomans.

Did you know?

An interesting legend surrounds the unusual six minarets of the Mosque. Sultan Ahmed wanted them in gold, but the architect misheard it as six, given the words in Turkish for both sound similar. Since only the Prophet’s Mosque in Mecca had six minarets, it is believed that the Sultan avoided controversy by commissioning a 7th minaret in the Mecca Mosque, to maintain its supremacy.

Why visit Blue Mosque?

Architectural grandeur

The Blue Mosque is a sight for sore eyes. The interiors impress with the bluish hue of the 20,000 Iznik tiles, and splendidly crafted stained glass windows. The cascading domes and six minarets pierce the Istanbul skyline and stand as a testament to the incredible engineering feats and artistic vision of the Ottomans.

Turkey has been amazing, like most structures though out your beautiful country, the Basilica Cistern did not disappoint. The sheer scale is monumental, thank you for preserving it and allowing us to experience it. Only one criticism, I think you do with out the art displayed in it, the Cistern is art enough. Thank you it made my stay. With Love and Light. The Napier's.
