Discovering Blue Mosque - Istanbul
The beautiful Blue Mosque visible throughout Istanbul is easily distinguishable by its 6 towering minarets and cascading domes dominating the skyline. None of the exterior is in fact blue; its name comes from the 20,000 exquisite blue tiles that cover the interior.Resplendent with flowers, birds, trees and Islamic scripture, the 260 windows allow light to stream in creating a wonderful play on colour and atmosphere as the day passes. No visit to Istanbul can be complete without a visit to this timeless Islamic place of worship.
