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 Koutoubia, ou mosquée des libraires, fut débutée sous la dynastie berbère des Almoravides en 1120, mais fut profondément remaniée à partir de 1162 sous l'émir Almohade Abu Yusuf Yaqub al-Mansur, et devint l'un des édifices les plus caractéristiques de ce style. Son nom vient du fait qu'elle se situait dans le souk des marchands de manuscrits.
La mosquée des libraires s'organise sur un plan en T. Cette tradition existe depuis la construction de la mosquée de Kairouan au ixe siècle, et se retrouve également en Espagne. Il s'agit en fait d'un plan arabe hypostyle, c’est-à -dire comportant une grande cour entourée d'un portique et une salle de prière à colonnes. Les nefs sont perpendiculaires au mur de qibla, celle du centre étant plus large ; et la travée qui longe le mur qibli est également magnifiée, ce qui forme un T, d'où le nom. Le mihrab est traité comme une niche très profonde, et le minaret, haut de 69 m, est de section carrée, selon la tradition de l'occident musulman.
Ses 17 nefs, soutenues par de nombreux piliers blancs, abritent l'une des plus vastes salles de prière de l'Occident musulman (90 x 60 m) pouvant accueillir jusqu'à vingt mille fidèles. Le bâtiment a été restauré dans l'esprit du monument original en 1990, sous l'autorité du ministère de la Culture marocain.
