The wonderful Sultan Ahmed mosque or as known by tourists the Blue mosque of Istanbul.
the Sultan Ahmed Mosque continues to function as a mosque today; men still kneel in prayer on the mosque's lush red carpet after the call to prayer. The Blue Mosque, as it is popularly known, was constructed between 1609 and 1616 during the rule of Ahmed I. Its Külliye contains Ahmed's tomb, a madrasah and a hospice. Hand-painted blue tiles adorn the mosque’s interior walls, and at night the mosque is bathed in blue as lights frame the mosque’s five main domes, six minarets and eight secondary domes. It sits next to the Hagia Sophia, another popular tourist site.
Advanced thank you to all for the views, comments, awards and faves for the photo.

"Designed by the French architect Michel Pinseau, it is the second largest in the world (after the Masjid al-Haram in Mecca). It stands on a promontory looking out to the Atlantic, which can be seen through a gigantic glass floor with room for 25,000 worshippers. A further 80,000 can be accommodated in the mosque's courtyard. Its minaret is the world's tallest at 210 metres (689 ft).
Built on reclaimed land, almost half of the surface of the mosque lies over the Atlantic water. This was inspired by the verse of the Qur'an that states "the throne of God was built on the water". Part of floor of this facility is glass so worshippers can kneel directly over the sea; above, lasers shine at night from the top of the minaret toward Mecca.
Hassan II Mosque Interior
These features were specifically requested by King Hassan II, who declared, "I want to build this mosque on the water, because God's throne is on the water. Therefore, the faithful who go there to pray, to praise the creator on firm soil, can contemplate God's sky and ocean."
It also includes a number of modern touches: it was built to withstand earthquakes and has a heated floor, electric doors, and a sliding roof.
The mosque displays strong Moorish influence and the architecture of the building is similar to that of the Alhambra and the Mezquita in Spain. This and the old Tin Mal Mosque are the only mosques in Morocco open to non-Muslims. Non-Muslims may view the interior on hour-long guided tours that depart several times daily."
(ENG) This mosque was built by Fatih Sulthan Mehmet on 1462. As years advanced, it could not resist effects of time and it had to be restored by Sultan Abdulaziz on 1862. Afterwards Fatih Mosque was restored again by Sultan Abdulhamid II on 1904. It is one of the most historical buildings in Gokceada.
(TR) Fatih Sultan Mehmet tarafından 1462 yılında yaptırılmıştır. Süregelen zamana cami direnememiş ve 1862 yılında Sultan Abdülaziz zamanında tamamen yenilenmiştir. 1904 yılında da Sultan 2. Abdülhamit döneminde tekrar onarımdan geçirilmiştir.
Gökçeada'daki en eski ve tarihi yapılardan birisidir.
Another beautiful mosque located in Istanbul! This is one of Mimar Sinan's mosques. He was a magnificent architect in ottoman history. This was his first important imperial commission.
The beautifully decorated interior of the Kocatepe Mosque. The Kocatepe Mosque is the largest and most important mosque in Ankara, the Turkish capital. The large size of the mosque means that it can be seen from most areas of the city, making it one of the icons of the city since it was completed in 1987.
This is my first completed building for the Medina al Musawrah collab at Brickfair NoVA 2025, which depicts a near-future Middle Eastern city. This building was loosely inspired by the Mehmet Agha Mosque on Rhodes, which I saw in 2023, and so I've given it the same name. Many of its namesake's architectural features are visible here, but they've been rearranged and altered to fit the look of collab, and my own whims. While the mosque on Rhodes was my main inspiration, I have seen a great deal of Moorish Architecture in my travels, and drew inspiration from many other places too, especially Morocco and Turkey.
There is an Easter egg hiding in plain sight. While in Morocco, I bought a hand-made carpet, which now lives in our living room. The carpet displayed unfurled in the ground floor carpet shop is a custom sticker that I created from a photo of my own carpet; and the minifig looking at it is my own sigfig.
The namesake has shops on the ground floor, which I replicated; and I added a ramshackle hookah bar on the roof to fit the deliberately chaotic look of the city. The namesake is no longer in use as a mosque at all. This build added several more floors, so there is plenty of space for one to take up part of the building, but I left it to the imagination.
While it has only been three weeks since I posted the Hashimacorp Tower, I have not become miraculously fast at building. I started this build in September, and worked on it at the same time as I was putting the finishing touches on the tower, especially as I neared the end and the tower became more frequently stalled by Bricklink orders.

En 2004 y a été construite une mosquée à quatre minarets. C'est une réplique modeste mais très belle de la Mosquée Bleue d'Istanbul qui possède six minarets.

The design of these ceilings "expand" the interior space like there are no boundaries between heaven and earth.
