Just walk around..

by remigia

As far as i'm Kaunas girl i always love towns that have main pedestrian street. So Edirne is also among my favourites. Saraclar cadessi and it's surroundings are the perfect place when you are too lazy for any other activities or just killing time. The street is not far from the Eski Camii paralel to old Bedesten market. Most of houses here are nicely renovated traditional 2-store buildings with a protruding upper floor( And for some original without any make-over architecture - just step into one of adjoining streets). Lots of flower pots and some lovely fountains give the street cheerful look. And here are lot's of little shops and bars where you can sit drinking excellent traditional coffee or apple-tea. By the way, there are lots of kebab take-aways circling around Bedesten. They are really good and cheap- we had kebab and airan for just 2 TL. Well...we were little bit unlucky with...

The Selimiye

by remigia

Selimye Mosque together with the surroundings is the best known object in Edirne. It was built in XVI century by famous architect Mimar Sinan - his statue is on the left corner of the square in front of the mosque. From 2011 Selimiye Camii is in the list of UNESCO World Heritage , it's suppossed be one of the 3 most beautiful mosques in Turkey. And it's not just the mosque itself. The whole complex included Islamic school - medresse, library. There used to be hospital and baths around , too. Also charity kitchen for poor people, hospices and cemetery. And it's quite unusual for christians, like me, when before entering the sanctuary you have to pass row of shops - arasta. Now the mosque itself is still a preying house but most of surrounding buildings lost their initial purpose and turned to museum. Some interesting facts- Selimiye camii minaret towers are second largest in the world(...

Eski Camii- the Old Mosque

by remigia

Eski Camii is probably the oldest mosque in Edirne built in 1414. It's situated in the town center - just across the famous Selimye Mosque. It's not so rich in decoration like mosques from later centuries. But it's famous becuase of large and rather austere calligraphy iscriptions on it's walls

Eski Mosque

by June.b

Considered as the oldest ottoman structure in Edirne, the Eski Mosque is constructed in 1403 and was completed in 1414.Walking on the way to Selimiye Mosque, you'll be passing by this old mosque along the main Talat Pasa Cadessi. It is beside a covered bazaar...

Üçserefeli Mosque

by June.b

This older 15th century mosque is a 5-minute walk from the Selimiye Mosque.There is some minor renovation on one facade of the mosque (or cleaning it?) when I was there last week (April 2009). The mosque has 3 very tall minarets and unusually each of the minarets have different designs - spiral, checkered and zigzag.

Selimiye Mosque

by June.b

One of Mimar Sinan's architectural 16th century masterpiece.Located up on a hill with beautiful park in front of it. The entrance is a covered bazaar.The mosque is the center of the city - few minutes walk from Saraçlar Caddesi and can be seen from afar. With 999 windows representing God's perfection, this great mosque is considered as Sinan's greatest work.It's almost similar to Istanbul's Blue Mosque, though personally, I kinda like this one better. Admission to the mosque is free, and as usual dress properly and remove your shoes, you can take photos of the interior of the mosque which again seems like you're inside the Blue Mosque.

Saraçlar Caddesi

by June.b

This is Edirne's mini version of Istiklal Caddesi in Istanbul.This pedestrian street is full of nice coffee shops with some tables and chairs alfresco, great for people-watching while sipping your cola on a warm summer day.Nice quaint shops lined the street housed in those old wooden houses, some of them renovated, others remains in their somewhat original condition - but pretty as it is.There is a huge fountain just near the start of the street where you'll find some benches basking under the sun - nice to seat during the spring...

The Selimiye Mosque

by Arkeolog

The first monument which welcomes the visitors of Edirne today is Selimiye Mosque. Selimiye Mosque which is mentioned with amazement and awe even among modern architectural work, is a structure that Architect Sinan called as "my work of art of mastership." This mosque which is shiny and eye dazzling as a crown offered to Edirne, has four elegant minarets which can be seen from far away even when one approaches Edirne. The expenses of the mosque made by Architect Sinan upon the order of Sultan Selim the second between 1569-1575 were met by the loot obtained from the conquest of Cyprus in 1571. The refined taste and mystical flair which overwhelms the structure is felt in all corners of the mosque, yet when one arrives under the giant cupola the feeling of awe is replaced by amazement and admiration. The light in the mosque provides comfort and confidence , and as one looks to the cupola...
