Description
The exterior of the Mosque of Suleyman the Magnificent in Istanbul Turkey. The Mosque of Suleyman the Magnificent (Suleymaniye Mosque; Suleymaniye Camii) is the second largest mosque in Istanbul and one of the best-known sights of the city. Construction was begun in 1550 and the mosque was finished in 1558, under the direction of the architectural genius of Sinan Pasha. The Suleyman complex blended Islamic and Byzantine architectural elements. It combines tall, slender minarets with large domed buildings supported by half domes in the style of the Byzantine church Hagia Sophia. The Suleymaniye is similar in magnificence to the Hagia Sophia and asserts Suleyman's historical importance. The structure is nevertheless smaller in size than the Hagia Sophia.
