Blue Mosque - Istanbul 2011



Blue Mosque - Istanbul 2011



while I was in a short trip to Turkey - Feb. 2011. I visit this huge mosque with lovely design in fact now it becomes as a museum.



This was done by Sultan Ahmet I, It 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.



The Mosque was built (1603-17) is the masterwork of Ottoman architiect Sedefkar Mehmet Aga.
