The imperial Mosque of Sultan Ahmet I (Sultan Ahmet Camii) is called the Blue Mosque because of its interior tiles, mostly on the upper level and difficult to see unless you're right up there with them.
It has six minarets (the Sultan had to offer a 7th minaret to La Mecque to make sure it will remain the biggest one) and a great cascade of domes. It was our favorite visit in Istanbul. The building is impressive and the light and decoration inside are amazing.
It was our fist time inside a mosque despite the fact we lived in turkey for almost a year now.
We let you enjoy the fine state of art of the inside...
