Suleymaniye Mosque

Suleiman Mosque (Süleymaniye) is the jewel of Ottoman architecture. Its construction began in 1550 and was completed in just seven years, in 1557.

It is one of the most beautiful, famous and visited mosques in Istanbul along with Santa Sofia.

The largest mosque in Istanbul

Located on a hill overlooking the Golden Horn, the Suleymaniye Mosque is visible from almost all points of the city, its minarets being "primus inter pares", and its dome the most visible hat of those that crown Istanbul's mosques. .

It is the largest of the mosques and the most famous of the works of Mimar Sinan. That is, of its one hundred and thirty mosques, and more than two hundred buildings built.

The Suleymaniye Mosque is inspired by Hagia Sophia, from which it copies its basilica plan and its dome on pendentives, which together with small lateral domes of different diameters attest to the architectural debt to the Byzantine temple.

Bosphorus Tour

The Bosphorus Strait is a narrow sea passage that connects the Sea of Marmara with the Black Sea and separates Europe from Asia. For this reason, it is one of the treasures protected by the great metropolis of Istanbul, which is located to the south of the strait. And it is even divided in two by its waters, which is why it is a city on two continents.

Free time in Spice Bazaar

Follow your nose!

The Spice Bazaar, also called Egyptian Bazaar, is known for its many scents and colors. The oriental spice market is located on Eminönü Square, just to the right of the New Mosque.

Built in 1664, as part of the Yeni Camii (New Mosque) complex, it is known in Turkish as Mısır Çarşısı, and sometimes translated to "Egyptian Bazaar" or "Corn Market" (mısır means both Egypt and corn in Turkish).

While the Grand Bazaar may be the largest and most famous of Istanbul's covered bazaars, this spice market wins the prize for being the most colorful, fragrant, and often the most fun, as visitors can taste the goods on offer.

Here are the most popular herbs and spices you can taste in Turkish Cuisine.

Red Pepper Flakes, “pul biber” in Turkish. It´s one of the most popular spices that adds a delicious aroma with a slight bitter taste.
