About It was commissioned by Sultan Ahmet the 1st on the square with the same name in Istanbul between 1609 and 1616. Its architect is Sedefkar Mehmet Awa. It?s the only mosque in Turkey with six minarets. The mosque part has dimension of 64x72. The diameter of its central dome has a diameter of 33.4 m and a height of 43 m and is 2.6 m greater than that of St. Sophia. The interior of the mosque is illuminated by 260 windows. Since it is beautifully adorned by blue, green and white encaustics, it was named by the Europeans as ?Blue Mosque?. The inscriptions are made by Seyyid Kasım Gubari of Diyarbakır. It makes up a complex with the surrounding buildings.

hayri, cok merci for the interesting update on the history. it's so long now i have been there and i long to come back soon. as much as i heard and read about the unbelievable growth of istambul, it is not to be noticed on this square where the sultan ahmet stands amid its originally designed space.
very well taken, tesekür ederem.

Beautiful image, Hayri, well composed.
I've been at Istanbul at the end of february in 1962. At that time it was covered with about half a meter of snow. A very strange view. I think this is the only mosque in the world with six minarets. Maybe you tell us this interesting story with one of your next photos of this impressive building.
Best regards, Günter.
