Inside Istanbul's Blue Mosque

The Blue Mosque in Istanbul has reopened after a six-year restoration project.

The Blue Mosque was built between 1609 and 1616, by the architect Mehmet Ağa, instructed by Sultan Ahmed I. It was designed as an imperial show of strength to complement the imposing Hagia Sophia Mosque, which faces it across Sultanahmet Square. #risale #bluemosque #makkah__madinah #arabistan #uyghurmuslims #cennet #dini #palastinelivesmatter #palastine | Naqsha Ghar

The Blue Mosque of Istanbul, also known as Sultan Ahmed Mosque (Sultan Ahmet Camii), is an Ottoman-era historical structure- attracting large numbers of tourists. It was constructed between 1609 and 1616 during the rule of Ahmed I. Hand-painted blue tiles adorn the mosque’s interior walls, and at night the mosque is bathed in blue as lights frame the mosque’s five main domes, six minarets and eight secondary domes. Truly a marvel to behold! #bluemosqueturkey #bridesandyou | Brides & You
