Famed architect Sinan built this majestic structure for one of the greatest rulers of the Ottoman Empire. Although this mosque is less ornate, there are many similarities between it and the Hagia Sophia since the same architect was responsible for both.

From the outside itself it is a very beautiful mosque that attracts you. When you go inside the blue hued art work takes you to another world. It is a unique combination of art & architecture.

A huge complex of many buildings including the tombs of sultans and famous architect, Sinan, who designed the complex. No charge for admission. Setting is glorious - panoramic view.

This masterpiece of a mosque is on a par with the blue mosque and therefore must not be overlooked. Be sure to visit the whole complex.

If you want to visit, you can all time until the mosque are closed... If you want to see "Namaz", you should go to mosque on pray time 😊
