Sultan Ahmed Mosque also known as the Blue Mosque is a historic mosque located in Istanbul, Turkey. It was constructed between 1609 and 1616 during the rule of Ahmed first. After the Peace of Zsitvatorok and the crushing loss in the 1603-18 war with Persia, Sultan Ahmet first decided to build a large mosque in Istanbul to reassert Ottoman power. The Mosque has five main domes, six minarets, and eight secondary domes. The upper area is decorated with approximately 20,000 hand-painted glazed ceramic in 60 different tulip patterns.

Fun fact 🇦🇱❤🇹🇷 Sedefkar Mehmed Agha who was the architect of the Blue Mosque was an Albanian. Search up, Devshirme Sedefkar Mehmed Agha Albanian, and it will say "Mehmed Agha was born around 1540. According to the biographer Cafer Efendi, he was believed to have been originally from the city of Elbasan in what is now Albania. He brought to Istanbul in 1563 as a "Devshirme" to join the janissary corps or palace schools."
MashaAllah ❤️
