Sobre
Fatos rápidos: Ao entrar, seus olhos são recebidos por mais de 20.000 azulejos Iznik feitos à mão, que brilham em tons de azul e conferem à mesquita seu apelido popular. O som da água que cai das fontes mistura-se com as orações, criando uma atmosfera pacífica entre seus seis minaretes esguios que se erguem para o céu.
Destaques: A mesquita exibe mais de 20.000 azulejos İznik feitos à mão, cada um apresentando desenhos florais intrincados que criam um brilho azul hipnotizante quando a luz do sol passa pelos vitrais; uma característica incrivelmente rara que dá ao interior uma atmosfera azul surreal. Uma tradição curiosa envolve os seis minaretes esguios, que causaram alvoroço quando foram construídos, pois esse número de minaretes era tradicionalmente reservado apenas para a mesquita sagrada em Meca; para resolver isso, um sétimo minarete foi adicionado à mesquita em Meca.
Dicas de quem conhece
- 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.
