Sultan Ahmad Mosque

The mosque is located in Sultanahmet Square in the Old City, south of the Museum of Ayia Sophia and east of the Byzantine Horseshoe Square. It is located in the Sultanahmet Square, Hypodermium).

 Built between 1018 and 1020 AH by one of Turkey's most famous architects, Engineer Mohamed Agha, a student of Turkey's most famous architect, Sinan. It is the only mosque in Turkey with six light beacons, three of which are on the right and three on the opposite side. Its dome is one of Turkey's greatest domes.

 What is interesting about the building of the mosque is that it was an attempt by Sultan Ahmed to erase the impact of the defeat of the imperial armies on the Persian and Austro-Hungarian fronts, and that is why he wanted him to be greater than all the mosques of the previous sultans to be remembered as having left the greatest influence on the city.

The interior of the mosque is decorated with a distinctive collection of different decorations, which vary from gold to engraving art, which paint some precious verses as a finite drawing in creativity.

Influenced his exterior design and chose the number of minarets at the Grand Mosque in Mecca, and the interior decorations gained by the name of the Blue Mosque influenced by the designs of the Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem. Everything inside and outside the Sultanahmet Mosque is a striking architectural design that attracts attention and astonishes sight in a mosque that tells stories from history and the Ottoman civilization.
