The Sultan Ahmed Mosque
(Turkish: Sultan Ahmet Camii)
is a historic mosque located
in Istanbul, Turkey. A popular
tourist site, the Sultan Ahmed
Mosque continues to function
as a mosque today.
The mosque was built on the site
of the palace of the Byzantine
emperors, in front of the basilica
Hagia Sophia.
At its lower levels and at every pier,
the interior of the mosque is lined
with more than 20,000 handmade
İznik style ceramic tiles, made at
İznik (the ancient Nicaea) in more
than fifty different tulip designs. The
tiles at lower levels are traditional
in design, while at gallery level their
design becomes flamboyant with
representations of flowers, fruit
and cypresses.
The decorations include verses from
the Qur'an, many of them made
by Seyyid Kasim Gubari, regarded
as the greatest calligrapher of his time.
Istanbul - formerly known as Byzantium
and Constantinople, is the most populous
