On the picture: view toward the Blue Mosque also called the Sultanahmet Camii. It is known as the Blue Mosque, because of its magnificient interior decorations of blue Iznik tiles. Outside of the mosque stands the turbe or the tomb of Sultan Ahmet decorated with 17th century Iznik tiles. The Sultan was buried here along with his wife and three sons.
I'm in Istanbul the third time (first time 20 years ago, as a child). Istambul changed much but the historical monuments of this one of the biggiest cities of the world fortunately remains unchanged.

WELCOME!
