Tietoa
Nopeat faktat: Astuttaessa sisään, silmät kohtaavat yli 20 000 käsintehtyä Iznik-laattaa, jotka hohtavat sinisissä sävyissä antaen moskeijalle sen suositun lempinimen. Vesisuihkulähteiden lorinan ja rukousten äänet yhdistyvät luoden rauhallisen tunnelman kuuden hoikan minareetin kohoillessa kohti taivasta.
Kohokohdat: Moskeijassa on yli 20 000 käsintehtyä İznik-laattaa, jokainen sisältäen monimutkaisia kukkakuvioita, jotka luovat hypnoottisen sinisen hehkun, kun auringonvalo suodattuu värikkäiden lasi-ikkunoiden läpi. Erikoisena perinteenä ovat kuusi hoikkaa minareettia, jotka aiheuttivat kohua rakennusaikoina, koska minareettiluku kuusi oli perinteisesti varattu vain Mekan pyhään moskeijaan; ratkaistakseen asian Mekan moskeijaan lisättiin seitsemäs minareetti.
Sisäpiirin vinkit
- Wear modest clothing that covers shoulders and knees, women should carry a headscarf since some entrances require one.
- Remove shoes at the entrance; wear slip-on shoes or bring a small bag for your footwear.
- Photograph the full exterior from the northwest arcade in the morning for the best view of the six minarets and cascading domes.
- Avoid 10:00 to 15:00 and Friday noon prayer periods; arrive right after morning prayer or late afternoon for smaller crowds and calmer photography.
