Suleymaniye Mosque, Istanbul (Turkey)

A tribute to Suleiman- the Magnificent, Suleymaniye Mosque is one of the most famous mosques of Istanbul. Built in between 1550- 1557, its construction took almost 8 years; however, the architectural design of Suleymaniye Mosque, Istanbul is still worthy of appraisal. Designed by the architect Mimar Sinan, the mosque attracts lots of tourists from all around the world due to its splendid beauty.

History of Suleymaniye Mosque

The beautiful Iznik tiles used in the carvings of the mosque depict the history of Suleymaniye Mosque. The mosque has even suffered fire and destruction. The fire on the 1660 had destroyed the mosque completely, and then it was later reconstructed by Sultan Mehmed 4. There had even been destruction due to wars. The mosque had suffered great destruction during the world war when the mosque was used for keeping explosives and had caught fire. Most of the carvings and pillars had been destroyed and only a few originals can be viewed now. The mosque was completely reconstructed and renovated in 1956.

Architecture of Suleymaniye Mosque

Located on one of the seven hills of Istanbul, the Suleymaniye Mosque proves to be a landmark for the city and symbolizes the Ottoman rule as it is an Ottoman imperial mosque.

The mosque has 4 minarets with 10 balconies in each. Even the number of minarets and balconies symbolizes that Sultan Suleiman was the fourth of the Osmanh rulers and the 10th sultan after the empire was fully established. Its beautiful gardens have some of the most beautiful flowers and trees which represent the history of the place.

Amazing Facts about Suleymaniye Mosque

The mosque houses a religious school, hospital, soup kitchen, bazaar, library, caravanserai, and numerous tombs.

Crowning one of the seven hills of Istanbul, Suleymaniye Mosque is a landmark for the entire city.

The dome of the mosque is as large as the one crowns the Byzantine basilica.

Once occupied by Mimar Sinan, one of its houses of Ottoman era has now been turned into a cafe.

    Sriramv's 9 days trip to Istanbul

    Cheap Travellers organized the land package for my recent vacation to Turkey. I had booked my International and Domestic Flights on my own. Deepak and team provided an extremely smooth and seamless experience. The pick up and drop from and to Airports, the daily sight seeing tours went off without a
    glitch and credit goes to Deepak, his team and his partners in Turkey. Deepak also booked a hotel in Antalya at rates better than what I was getting at booking.com, so I went with that. For other cities my bookings were cheaper and Deepak was flexible and suggested me to go ahead with my own. Every day, the schedule was published on Whatsapp and almost every time, the day-tour operators or the taxi service people were at the hotel lobby precisely on time. The tour buses and the private cabs were also quite good, clean and comfortable. I had 2 smallish points of disappointment. 1) Deepak had clearly agreed that I would pay him for the land package in instalments - 1st advance, 2nd advance 3rd payment during trip and final payment after the trip. But he repeatedly brought up new reasons and made requests to pay him earlier than agreed. The requests were incessant, repetitive and honestly irritated me. 2) Secondly, what was promised in the itinerary was not delivered. For the Bosphorus cruise, the itinerary mentioned "Starters & Turkish appetizers, classic turkish desserts, belly dance, turkish gypsy dance, caucasian dance, folk dance show". But these items were missing. Entry to Hagia Sophia (25 euros) was not provided. That day, I spoke to Deepak and showed his own document, but he simply said, "No, its not included". I didnt even raise the issue of Bosphorus cruise, since it was only a matter of a few food and dance items. I had already paid in full by then. But both these were small points for me and not deal breakers. I would however only urge fellow travelers to get clarity upfront and avoid issues later. Will I recommend Cheap Travelers to other fellow travelers ? YES Absolutely!!!

    Our trip to Turkey was very well organized and barring a few hiccups, everything went according to plan and we had an amazing experience. Let me elaborate on the great things first. Our cab pick ups were bang on time, I loved the punctuality of the drivers and the on time pick ups and drops made it
    so muc easier and convenient for us. The cabs were very comfortable especially the private transfers, we got a huge cab. Made us feel like royalty!
