Suleymaniye Mosque, Istanbul (Turkey)
A tribute to Suleiman- the Magnificent, Suleymaniye Mosque is one of the most famous mosques of Istanbul. Built in between 1550- 1557, its construction took almost 8 years; however, the architectural design of Suleymaniye Mosque, Istanbul is still worthy of appraisal. Designed by the architect Mimar Sinan, the mosque attracts lots of tourists from all around the world due to its splendid beauty.
History of Suleymaniye Mosque
The beautiful Iznik tiles used in the carvings of the mosque depict the history of Suleymaniye Mosque. The mosque has even suffered fire and destruction. The fire on the 1660 had destroyed the mosque completely, and then it was later reconstructed by Sultan Mehmed 4. There had even been destruction due to wars. The mosque had suffered great destruction during the world war when the mosque was used for keeping explosives and had caught fire. Most of the carvings and pillars had been destroyed and only a few originals can be viewed now. The mosque was completely reconstructed and renovated in 1956.
Architecture of Suleymaniye Mosque
Located on one of the seven hills of Istanbul, the Suleymaniye Mosque proves to be a landmark for the city and symbolizes the Ottoman rule as it is an Ottoman imperial mosque.
The mosque has 4 minarets with 10 balconies in each. Even the number of minarets and balconies symbolizes that Sultan Suleiman was the fourth of the Osmanh rulers and the 10th sultan after the empire was fully established. Its beautiful gardens have some of the most beautiful flowers and trees which represent the history of the place.
Amazing Facts about Suleymaniye Mosque
The mosque houses a religious school, hospital, soup kitchen, bazaar, library, caravanserai, and numerous tombs.
Crowning one of the seven hills of Istanbul, Suleymaniye Mosque is a landmark for the entire city.
The dome of the mosque is as large as the one crowns the Byzantine basilica.
Once occupied by Mimar Sinan, one of its houses of Ottoman era has now been turned into a cafe.

We saw big rooms were available which you could have given us. Apart from that all was good .

Bhavna's 6 days trip to Istanbul
While going across through the holiday blogs we were attracted to some of the most surreal pictures of Turkey and thats when we decided to plan our next holiday to Turkey rather than going to the usual holiday destinations closer to India. We explored the beautiful cities of Istanbul and Cappadocia and the experience was beyond words. The travel agent SVS Travels shortlisted through Traveltriangle made sure we had a smooth and hasslefree holiday which infact turned out to be as things were all well planned and well coordinated as soon as we landed in Turkey. Right from the hotel arrangements to the daily tours, everything was well planned and details were shared in advance without any followup or reminders. Though we couldn't do the hot air balloon due to weather conditions but instead the travel agent made sure we experience the ATV ride which was also quite adventurous. Great work Santosh and team and Ria traveltriangle partner.Akhtar Rehan

Rohan's 8 days trip to Istanbul
It was suppose to be Honeymoon, but after spending INR 2.2 Lakhs didn't get Honeymoon experience in Hotels. I was expecting to be lil special for honeymoon couples but they (Agent & Hotel) had to be told. The bed in Cappadocia Suite hotel were twin beds with no drinking water initial given. Also the experience was more sort of travel but not as special for Honeymoon from Travel Triangle/Vendors - Dorganizerscom Pammukale, Efes City and Cappadocia trip.Want best packages handpicked just for you?
