About
Szybkie fakty: Kalın taş duvarların ardında beklenmedik bir el işi zenginliği var: ince oyma ahşap süslemeler ve el boyaması çiniler her köşeye farklı bir doku katıyor.
Najważniejsze atrakcje: Akşamüstü kuzey cephedeki üç küçük pencereden süzülen ışık, mermer zeminde net üç demet halinde düşüyor; bu an fotoğraflarda altın ve mavi tonlarının çarpıcı bir kontrastını veriyor. Minberin basamaklarına dokunduğunuzda yanan eski tahta ve mum kokusunu hissediyorsunuz, parmak izleri cilayı silip tarihsel bir dokunuş bırakmış gibi duruyor.
Insider tips
- Dress modestly and have a scarf handy for women, shoes must be removed before entering the prayer hall.
- Head to the north courtyard steps for the best framed shot of the twin minarets against the skyline.
- Avoid Friday midday and the main prayer times to see the interior calmly and take photographs.
- Combine a visit with Yakutiye Medrese and Çifte Minareli Medrese on foot to make efficient use of time.
