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.

La Mosquée de Paris, construite entre 1922 et 1926, est située dans le Quartier latin, à deux pas du Museum d’Histoire Naturelle de Paris. De style hispano-mauresque, elle est dominée par son minaret de 33 mètres de hauteur. Inspiré de l’Alhambra de Grenade, le patio est entouré d’arcades sculptées. La salle des prières est une étape obligatoire de la visite pour sa décoration et ses magnifiques tapis. La Mosquée de Paris est aussi un lieu de détente avec son hammam où sont passés BOURVIL et DE FUNÈS dans “La Grande Vadrouille”, son restaurant, où déjeunaient BIRKIN et GAINSBOURG dans le film “Slogan”, sa cour ombragée où les habitants du quartier ont l'habitude de venir goûter un thé à la menthe ou un moment de quiétude.
