At 210 metres in height the minaret is the second tallest minaret in the world. It has a laser beam fitted at the top, which is electronically operated in the evening. It is oriented towards Mecca, across the sea and has a range of 30 kilometres. The minaret is said to enhance the visual alignment of the boulevard. It is square in shape thrusting skyward. The base to the top width ratio of 1 to 8 (between basement and the summit) has a marble covering on the exterior with austere decoration. The faces of the facade have carved ornamentation with different materials. There are stitches of roudani tracetine on a 100,000 MP surface. This decorative material (with chrome and green as dominant colours), is a substitute for the use of bricks, the material used in many other notable minarets, and has given the mosque an extraordinary elegance. Green tiles decorate the minaret for one third of the height from the top, and then changes colour to deep green or turquoise blue; it is said that in the Hassan II minaret, the designer had used his sea-foam green and God's blue to celebrate the life of a king. The concrete used for the minaret was a special high-grade type, which could perform well under severe conditions of a combined action of strong wind and seismicity. This was achieved by the Science Department of the Bouygues Group, the contractors for the project, who developed an extra-strength concrete four times stronger than ordinary concrete. Called B.H.P (highly resistant concrete), it offers a resistance to compression value of 1200 bars per sqcm (claimed to be a world record) and has a very quick setting time. This enabled the building of a taller structure with due underpinning of the foundation, while adhering to the construction schedule. Cranes were also designed to suit the height of the minaret for concreting.
On my last morning in Istanbul I realised I hadn't taken a shot of the Blue Mosque in daylight so I headed out early to rectify that.
The Medieval Mosque is a part of a collaborative build with my LUG friends from Zbudujmy To!, which shows an Arabic Street, with 3 districts: Savannah, Poor district and Wealthy district.
The mosque, was of course made for the wealthy disctrict.

Autumn in Europe and Turkey 2025
There are some very old mosques in Bitlis, sometimes difficult to find in the narrow streets in the centre.
Bitlis, Eastern Turkey
I've now been to 3 mosques in 2 days. A very surreal and beautiful experience.
Positivity:
Getting to experience Taksim Square in Istanbul today. It's a square (or rectangle) full of shops, lights, people, food, alleys, and life. (I attempted to take pics there but there were so many thousands of people there that I'm not sure I got anything. I haven't taken a look at those pics yet.)
Religion never "took" me but its cultural gaining and results.

The Cambridge Central Mosque is Europe's first eco-friendly mosque and the first purpose-built mosque within the city of Cambridge, England.
In 2009, Marks Barfield Architects won the competition with their calm, oasis concept of a British Mosque for the 21st century – Europe’s first eco-mosque.
The £23m project, opened its doors in April 2019 and since then has won a host of architectural accolades, including Architect’s Journal (AJ) Best Community and Faith Project 2019, Brick Development Association (BDA) Best Public Building 2019 and four Structural Timber Awards 2019, including Project of the Year. More recently, Cambridge Mosque has won RIBA East Project Architect of the Year, Building of the Year, Client of the Year and Regional Award and was shortlisted for the 2021 RIBA Stirling Prize.
Virtual Tour of the Cambridge Central Mosque for Cambridge Uni architecture students. Saisha from the mosque was the camera and tech person who made it all possible while Julia Barfield of the architects behind the project (Marks Barfield), Mathew and myself spoke about the building and took part in a Q&A session afterwards.
