About Sultan Ahmet Mosque
The Sultan Ahmed Mosque is an historical mosque in Istanbul. 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 one main dome, six minarets, and other eight secondary domes.
The Şehzade Mosque (Turkish: Şehzade Camii) is a mosque in the city of Istanbul, Turkey. The mosque was commissioned by Sultan Suleiman I and was built by architect Mimar Sinan between 1543 and 1548. It was considered by architectural historians as Sinan's first masterpiece of classical Ottoman architecture
The mosque has a square plan, covered by a central dome, flanked by four half-domes. The dome is supported by four piers, and has a diameter of 19 meters and it is 37 meters high. Şehzade complex (Külliye) is situated between Fatih and Bayezid complexes. The Külliye consists of the mosque, the tomb (turbe) of Prince Mehmet (which was built prior to the mosque), two schools (medresa), kitchen for the poor and a caravansarai. The mosque and its courtyard are surrounded by a wall that separates them from the rest of the complex.

Une mosquée est un lieu de culte où se rassemblent les musulmans pour les prières communes. L’ensemble architectural est le plus souvent entouré d’une ou plusieurs tours, ou minarets, dont le nombre n'est pas limité. Le toit est souvent en forme de dôme. C’est du haut d’un des minarets que le muezzin (mouadh-dhan) appelle à la prière au cours de l’adhan. Une mosquée est plus qu’un lieu de culte ; elle sert d'institution sociale et éducative : elle peut, ainsi, être accompagnée d’une madrassa, d'une bibliothèque, d’un centre de formation, voire d’une université. Elle sert aussi de lieu de rencontres et d’échanges sociaux.
