Om
Raske fakta: Når du går inn, blir øynene dine møtt av over 20 000 håndlagde Iznik-fliser som gløder i blåtoner, noe som gir moskeen sitt populære kallenavn. Lyden av vann som sildrer fra fontenene blander seg med bønner og skaper en fredelig atmosfære blant de seks slanke minaretene som strekker seg mot himmelen.
Høydepunkter: Moskeen har over 20 000 håndlagde İznik-fliser, hver med intrikate blomsterdesign som skaper en fengslende blå glød når sollyset filtreres gjennom de fargede glassvinduene. En usedvanlig tradisjon knytter seg til de seks slanke minaretene, som skapte oppstandelse da de først ble bygget, da et slikt antall minareter tradisjonelt var forbeholdt den hellige moskeen i Mekka. For å løse dette ble det lagt til en syvende minaret i moskeen i Mekka.
Insidertips
- 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.
