Our first stop is the Blue Mosque, named for its interior blue tiles.
The mosque features over 50 different tile designs, showcasing a variety of colors, all handcrafted in Iznik under the guidance of master potter Kaşıcı Hasan.
Constructed between 1609 and 1617 by Ottoman architect Mehmet Aga, a student of Mimar Sinan, the mosque draws inspiration from the imperial mosques built by Sinan. Notable examples of Sinan’s work include the Suleymaniye Mosque in Istanbul and the Selimiye Mosque in Edirne. Plans were made for this mosque to be built opposite Hagia Sophia.
These two sites are truly unique and essential to visit when in Istanbul.
