    Süleymaniye Mosque, one of the principal mosques of Istanbul, built between 1550 and 1557 for Ottoman sultan Süleyman the Magnificent , was designed by Sinan.

    It is surrounded by a wall and overlooks the Golden Horn.

    If you step into the courtyard, you’ll see, topped by 28 domes, four minarets, one at each of its four corners, and ten balconies. The minarets are said to signify that Süleyman was the fourth sultan of İstanbul, and the balconies to refer to his position as the tenth Ottoman monarch.

    The simple interior is decorated with stained-glass windows by artist Sarhos Ibrahim, tiles, renowned for its decorative ceramics, and calligraphic inscriptions.

    On the oil lamps, hanging low in order to burn easily and for better illumination, you might spot some black round objects. Those are boiled ostrich eggs whose scent prevents spiders.
