La Mosquée bleue, la mosquée du sultan Ahmet ou la mosquée Sultanahmet (en turc Sultan Ahmet Camii ou Sultanahmet Camii) est l'une des mosquées historiques d'Istanbul. Elle est notamment connue pour les céramiques à dominante bleue qui ornent les murs intérieurs, et lui ont valu son nom en Europe.
Elle fut construite entre 1609 et 1616, sous le règne du sultan Ahmet Ier. Comme beaucoup d'autres mosquées, elle comporte également la tombe du fondateur, une médersa et un hospice. La mosquée Sultanahmet est devenue l'une des attractions touristiques les plus populaires d'Istanbul.
Elle fut un point de départ du pèlerinage à La Mecque et a le privilège de comporter six minarets : la Mosquée sacrée de La Mecque en comptait autant à l'époque, mais en a depuis reçu un septième.

Eşrefoğlu Mosque.....is the only wooden mosque where several decorative techniques of stone, brick, ceramics and painting were used together. It is still a mystery how the wooden portions of the mosque, built in 1299, lasted until today without decay Eşrefoğlu Mosque, built in 1299 in the Beyşehir district of the central Anatolian province of Konya, is an architectural mystery. How the wooden parts of the mosque survived until today without decay has baffled scientists. The seven-century-old mosque has a special place in Turkish architecture since it is the only wooden mosque where several decorative techniques of stone, brick, ceramics and painting were used together. Built by Eşrefoğlu Süleyman Bay in 1297-1299, Eşrefoğlu Mosque is known as the biggest flat-ceiling mosque placed on wooden pillars, the Anatolia news agency reported. The historical building is still open to worship and is considered a “Turkish museum made of wood” thanks to its superior handicraft of wood and ceramics. Eşrefoğlu Mosque, a unique example of Islamic architecture, is also noteworthy for its wooden pillars as well as ornaments and fresco paintings on the ceiling.

The Sultan Ahmed Mosque (Turkish: Sultanahmet Camii) is an historical mosque in Istanbul, the largest city in Turkey and the capital of the Ottoman Empire (from 1453 to 1923). The mosque is popularly known as the Blue Mosque for the blue tiles adorning the walls of its interior.
It was built from 1609 to 1616, during the rule of Ahmed I. Like many other mosques, it also comprises a tomb of the founder, a madrasah and a hospice. While still used as a mosque, the Sultan Ahmed Mosque has also become a popular tourist attraction.
The design of the Sultan Ahmed Mosque is the culmination of two centuries of both Ottoman mosque and Byzantine church development. It incorporates some Byzantine elements of the neighboring Hagia Sophia with traditional Islamic architecture and is considered to be the last great mosque of the classical period. The architect has ably synthesized the ideas of his master Sinan, aiming for overwhelming size, majesty and splendour. It has 6 minarets along with 8 domes and 1 main one.

Christianity and Islam live side by side in Africa. However nobody seems to have considered the thought that there might be no God and I had to explain to a few what evolution is.

In Istanbul, it's hard not to find out any mosques when you look around in the city, so I'd already seen the beautiful mosques for the hundreds of time. Still, the golden light of the sunset perfectly flattered the scenery which made it impressive and special, again.
