Suleymaniye Mosque

October 13
One of the many beautiful locations in Istanbul.
It is convenient to get here from any area.
We recommend walking across the white bridge (where the metro stops) and climbing the streets into the hill. Only 15-20 minutes.
The way back is either through the Grand Bazaar or the metro/tram in any direction.
Beautiful territory and beautiful architecture. And most importantly - a great view point!!!
A selfie stick is a must, especially for an overview photo of the city.
A large and clean toilet.
There is a lunch break. Closes early.

place of peace and tranquility.. A place where you can feel the thrill of touching a great story.
The territory of the mosque is well maintained and green!The mosque offers an amazingly beautiful view of the Bosphorus and the city.
It is difficult to describe emotions and feelings in words. It's worth visiting here at least once in your life! ❤️

The Suleymaniye Mosque is one of the most peaceful and beautiful places in Istanbul. This is the second largest and, until 2019, the first mosque in the city, built by order of Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent in the 16th century. There is a special atmosphere here.
The well-maintained courtyard of the mosque with a garden and terraces, which offer wonderful views of the Bosphorus and the Golden Horn, creates a feeling of peace and tranquility. There are mausoleums on the territory of the courtyard, where Sultan Suleiman himself and his wife Hurrem are buried.
Every time I come to Istanbul, I make sure to take the time to visit the Suleymaniye Mosque. Here I always find harmony and inspiration, immersing myself in the atmosphere of the greatness of the Ottoman Empire and its rulers.

Perhaps the best mosque in Istanbul that I have been able to visit. The mosque itself is beautiful, the courtyard is spacious, the view of the city and the bay is wonderful. I was very lucky, there were few people, I even managed to take a photo where there are no people at all - and this is something incredible for Istanbul)))

It is a very impressive place, the interior is simply mesmerizing with the volume of the hall and the chandeliers are made very beautifully. There is a good view from the outside and the tombs of Suleiman the Great and Haseki Hyurem Sultan that can be visited.

If you are in Istanbul, be sure to visit the Suleymaniye Mosque. You can immerse yourself in the majestic Muslim culture.You will hear how beautifully namaz is sung. The inside of the mosque is very beautiful, the feet are buried in soft, red carpets. And you can also see various burials, including Suleiman and Khurem.

I definitely recommend you to visit. There is a large area for walking, you can sit in the shade of old large trees. The old cemetery in flowers and the crypts where the Sultan and his family are buried..... Views of the Bosphorus Strait and Galata Tower. The toilet is cool

The place is iconic among tourists. The mosque is beautiful. The cemetery at her side is a place of pilgrimage for lovers of Turkish history and fans of the Golden Age series. The mosque offers perhaps the best view of the Bosphorus.

The iconic and most visited place in Istanbul. It is the second largest in Istanbul.
It is easy to get to it from Eminenyu. We also stopped at the Egyptian Bazaar on the way. Beautiful views and an overview of the entire bay of Istanbul. It is especially exciting when you realize that the building was created in the 16th century...

We came here only on our second visit to Istanbul and did not regret it. A beautiful courtyard and a view of the Golden Horn Bay and the city, the mosque itself, although smaller, for example, Sultanahmet, but somehow more cozy or something. Perhaps we were lucky that there were few people. Definitely worth a visit

Just whoooooo. The grandeur of the mosque is fascinating. When visiting the mosque itself, keep quiet and speak in a whisper. Because people are praying there and your noise can distract them. When we were praying, a mother and her daughter came to the prayer area for women and started talking loudly with her daughter, they came to take pictures. Do not forget to take a headscarf, you cannot enter mosques and tombs without a headdress.

The Suleymaniye Mosque is the second largest and the first mosque in Istanbul.
According to the words, the TV series "Magnificent Century" was just filmed on the territory, but tour guides claim that no series was filmed in Istanbul🤔
There is a cemetery in the courtyard of the mosque. Here, in two neighboring mausoleums, Suleiman himself and his beloved wife Hurrem (Roksolana) with their daughter Mihrimah rest. (and all the sons are there too)
I RECOMMEND YOU TO VISIT!!!

Suleymaniye Place in Istanbul is one of the most famous and beautiful tourist spots in the city. It is located on a hill and has a magnificent view of the city.
One of the main attractions of Suleymaniye is the mosque of Suleiman the Magnificent, which was built in the XVI century. It is famous for its beauty and architecture, and is also an important religious place for Muslims.
Sulaimaniyah is also home to museums, libraries, schools, as well as many parks and gardens where you can enjoy the beauty of nature and get acquainted with the history and culture of Turkey.
I would recommend visiting the Suleymaniye place in Istanbul to anyone who is interested in the history and culture of Turkey, as well as loves beautiful architectural structures. This place is definitely worth a visit at least once in your life.
مسجد سليمان القانوني أو جامع السليمانية. مكان جميل للرحلات السياحية في المدينة. يقع هذا المكان على تلة ويتميز بإطلالة رائعة على المدينة.
واحدًا من أهم المعالم السياحية في السليمانية هو جامع السليمانية الذي تم بناؤه في القرن السادس عشر. ويشتهر هذا المسجد بجماله وهندسته المعمارية، كما يُعَدُّ مكانًا دينيًا هامًا للمسلمين.
ويضمُّ مكان السليمانية أيضًا متاحف ومكتبات ومدارس، بالإضافة إلى العديد من الحدائق والمنتزهات، حيث يُمكن الاستمتاع بجمال الطبيعة والتعرف على تاريخ وثقافة تركيا.
أنصح بزيارة مسجد السليمانية في اسطنبول.

It's a very atmospheric place. An interesting mosque, next to the mausoleum of Suleiman the Great and his family. The mosque is located on a hill, offering stunning views of the Bosphorus and the sights of Istanbul. The mausoleum closes at 18.00, so if you plan to visit, keep in mind. A must-visit. After that, you can go down to the Bosphorus through narrow authentic streets.

A huge plus is that the visit is free, unlike also Kariya, which is on the outskirts for 20 euros per person, if they write that this mosque is not inferior to Sofia, which has a queue of 500 people, then Istanbul mosques are about nothing, in Cairo they are much more beautiful and much more accessible.

The Suleymaniye Mosque. Free entrance, there are shawls and skirts, shelves for shoes, you can take pictures. There's a great viewing room here. The mosque was built by hand, in the XVI century there were not even cranes. It was built with such attention to detail that it survived 89 serious earthquakes (above 7 points) and more than a hundred small ones.
Ostrich eggs are located among the lamps. With their help, Sinan repelled spiders (insects are repelled by smell). Thus, he saved the mosque from fires, because cobwebs on chandeliers have repeatedly caused fires in temples.
A room for collecting soot. At that time, the mosque was illuminated by 250-300 candlesticks. Soot from them, using a special ventilation system in the upper part of the walls, accumulated in a separate room and was used to make ink. The books written by them have been preserved in the Suleymaniye Library.
In the courtyard of the mosque there are tombs of Sultan Suleiman and his beloved wife Hurrem. We also know them from the TV series The Magnificent Century.

The Suleymaniye Mosque is known for its stained glass windows, which are made in the technique of "Ibrahim Sarkhosh" and represent original works of art. The main entrance to the mosque is decorated with a special room where soot used to be collected to make ink.
The Suleymaniye Mosque is open to tourists, but the rules of conduct should be followed and the feelings of believers should be respected.

Suleymaniye's revenge was remembered the most of all in Fatiha, not because of its beauty, because in this area and indeed in Istanbul, all mosques, without exception, are very beautiful, but remembered by people. It is alive, spiritual, and full of meaning.
