Blue Mosque (Sultanahmet Mosque) OR Suleymaniye Mosque

The first stop of our Icmeler Istanbul Tour is determined as Blue Mosque; yet, as an important note here, if Blue Mosque is not available due to the renovation, we will visit Suleymaniye Mosque. Thus, in this section, we will give brief information about both of these glamorous structures.

• Blue Mosque was built upon request of Ahmet I and completed in 8 years (1609-1617). The most important thing about this magnificent piece of architectural art is its interior design in which blue color is dominantly used through the hand-made tiles. Also, with its five main domes, six minarets, and eight smaller domes, Blue Mosque is a grand and spectacular example of Ottoman architecture.
• The alternative option, Suleymaniye Mosque, however, can easily compete with Blue Mosque thanks to its glamorous features and design, too. Has been designed by famous architect Sinan and built in more than 7 years. Its exterior and interior design of it is pretty pleasing and proves the intellect of Sinan.
