Blue Mosque w/ 6 Minarets


Day Six Revisit Part 2 - Friday June 11 - Blue Mosque

Next stop, the Blue Mosque. This is only a short distance from the Hippodrome. The formal name is Sultan Ahmed Mosque, but it is popularly known as the Blue Mosque because of the Blue Tiles adorning the walls of its interior. This is one of the most impressive monuments in the world. We learned some of the history and the the various functions of different parts of the mosque.
