A magnificent mosque designed by Mimar Sinan, built in 1571-1572. Inside and in the surrounding area, a true immersion in the past.
The interior differs from the rest of the mosques in gray granite and Iznik tiles of dark colors. Above the entrance is a small piece of the sacred black stone of the Kaaba.
There is a strict caretaker inside. Women wear headscarves, and photos are forbidden (when he looks).
Be sure to take a walk around. There are only TV shows to shoot...
