Le couronnement est à merlons triangulaires et la lanterne est de dimension réduite.

Sultan's Mosque
The word ‘Ramadan’ is derived from the Arabic word Ramdh (رمض), which means, ‘intensely hot’ or ‘burning’. The month of Ramadan is named as such for three reasons:
• One who fasts becomes hot due to thirst.
• Worship and devotion in this month burns away the traces of sin.
• Devotion in this month produces the necessary warmth of love in man for his Creator and fellow beings.

“Allah says in the Qur'an not to despise one another. So the criterion in Islam is not color or social status. It's who is most righteous. If I go to a mosque - and I'm a basketball player with money and prestige - if I go to a mosque and see an imam, I feel inferior. He's better than me. It's about knowledge.”

Mezquita Azul
La mezquita Azul o mezquita del Sultán Ahmed es una de las grandes mezquitas de Estambul, obra de Sedefkar Mehmet Ağa, discípulo del arquitecto Sinan. Está situada frente a la iglesia de Santa Sofía, separadas ambas por un jardín, y fue la única de la ciudad con seis alminares hasta la construcción de la Mezquita de Çamlıca, inaugurada en 2016.
Su magnífico exterior es acorde con su suntuoso interior, en el que una verdadera sinfonía de bellísimos mosaicos azules de Iznik logran una atmósfera muy especial.
Estambul y sus mezquitas, es una ciudad con un encanto especial.
Una vez más os doy las gracias por vuestras visitas, comentarios y favoritas.
Istanbul and its mosques make it a city with a special charm.
Once again, thank you for your visits, comments, and favorites.
In Istanbul, the main Blue mosque was undergoing complete renovation, so almost all of the interior was covered by scaffolding. Not too far away a smaller and much older mosque was full of architectural wonder.

La mezquita Azul o mezquita del Sultán Ahmed (en turco: Sultan Ahmet Camii) es una de las grandes mezquitas de Estambul, obra de Sedefkar Mehmet Ağa, discípulo del arquitecto Sinan. Está situada frente a la Gran Mezquita de Santa Sofía, separadas ambas por un jardín, y fue la única de la ciudad con seis alminares hasta la construcción de la mezquita de Çamlıca, inaugurada en 2016.
En Latín significaba "la casa de la luna" y tardó 4 años desde que mandaron construirla hasta que se empezó a construir, ya que en aquella época había una gran crisis económica y no disponían del dinero para construirla.
Su magnífico exterior es acorde con su suntuoso interior, en el que una verdadera sinfonía de bellísimos mosaicos azules de Iznik logra una atmósfera muy especial.

The cost of the mosque was US$110 million (approx. 550 million Turkish liras at the time). Planning for the Çamlıca Mosque began in the year 2000 and was led by two female architects, Bahar Mızrak and Hayriye Gül Totu. Their design won second prize in a competition to come up with something suitable.
The mosque was officially inaugurated on 3 May 2019 by the current President of Turkey, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. Several world leaders were present at the ceremony including Senegalese President Macky Sall, Guinean President Alpha Conde, Albanian president Ilir Meta, Palestinian Prime Minister Mohammad Shtayyeh and other foreign dignitaries.
Çamlıca Mosque was only the third mosque in Turkey to have six minarets, after the Sultanahmet (Blue) Mosque in Istanbul and the Sabancı Merkez Mosque in Adana.
In 2022 work was under way to add a spur to the M5 Metro line from Üsküdar to include a stop at the Çamlıca Mosque.
