Beautiful Mosques in Istanbul


The Blue Mosque is a popular tourist destination in Istanbul because of its ideal location. However, few tourists know that, in addition to the Blue Mosque, Istanbul is home to several magnificent imperial mosques. There are many more Grand Mosques in Istanbul that are also worth seeing. Yes, you must go to the Blue Mosque because the blue tiles inside are invaluable. The most significant mosque in Turkey in terms of tiles, however, is Rustem Pasha Mosque, which was constructed by a Grand Vizier. The walls and even the columns are covered in beautiful blue tiles. 


If you want to visit a mosque in Istanbul, you should take prayer hours into account. Because prayer hours vary on a daily basis, visiting a few mosques in a single day requires careful preparation. Mosques in touristy locations have visiting hours posted on their doors. 


Blue Mosque


It is Istanbul's most renowned and frequented mosque. Because of the blue Iznik tiles inside, it is known as the Blue Mosque. This mosque should be on everyone's Istanbul bucket list if they are visiting the city. However, it is strongly advised that you visit another mosque since the traditional Ottoman architecture within this mosque cannot be fully appreciated owing to the crowds. 


Ortakoy Mosque


Because of its location and design, Buyuk Mecidiye Mosque, also known as Ortakoy Mosque, is regarded as the Jewel of the Bosphorus. This mosque, which is located in the Ortakoy district, right under the Bosphorus Bridge that connects Europe and Asia, offers excellent photographic possibilities. It is the most visited mosque by visitors on a Bosphorus cruise. Inside the mosque, there is a beautiful view of the sea. 


New Mosque


This mosque is the welcoming face of Istanbul Old City, located close to the renowned Spice Bazaar. It is the first structure viewed by visitors who walk to the Historical Peninsula from Galata or come by boat from the Asian side of Istanbul. It is really a 350-year-old mosque that was built by Valide Sultan, Sultan's mother, and called New Mosque. 


Fatih Mosque


This beautiful mosque may be found in the center of the Historical Peninsula. It was constructed in the honor of Mehmed the Conqueror, the Ottoman conqueror of Constantinople. Fatih Mosque, a 15th-century structure, was restored after being destroyed by earthquakes. The mosque was constructed on the foundations of Emperor Constantine's Church of the Holy Apostles. Because it is situated in a less touristy location, local life may be seen in the vicinity of the mosque. 


Suleymaniye Mosque


In terms of size and splendor, the Suleymaniye Mosque is the first mosque that springs to mind. Built on a prominent hill in Istanbul, this mosque was designed by Mimar Sinan, the finest architect of the Ottoman Empire, for Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent, the most renowned monarch. Although it is Istanbul's biggest mosque, it is also one of the most humble. With its tranquil grounds and beautiful architecture, it is a relaxing location. 


Sehzade Mosque


One of Istanbul's three most magnificent mosques, this exquisite mosque is one of the city's three most beautiful mosques. It is said to have been constructed in the honor of Sultan Suleiman by the renowned architect Mimar Sinan. When Suleiman's crown prince died of smallpox at the age of 20, he was buried in the garden of this mosque and the mosque was dedicated to him. Mimar Sinan took his painting even farther for the Suleymaniye Mosque after this incident.
