old magic

I noticed that many of my flickr contact friends(yeah,we're friends ayte?) have gone to Turkey, at least once. The beautiful, majestic architectures of its buildings and mosques never failed to amaze people from around the world, especially me.

 

This mosque above is a 17th century, typical Ottoman Empire architecture located in the very heart of Istanbul.

 

So here is an easy question for all you guys out there, can you identify this Mosque?(Or in Turkish, Camii).

Hint: It's in Istanbul, it's located next to a river, took 66 years to complete after six Sultans(can you believe it??) and it's not the Blue Mosque,of course.
