The Blue Mosque, also called Sultan Ahmet Mosque, is the first mosque that comes to mind when thinking about the best mosques in Turkiye. Built in the early 17th century, the Blue Mosque is since then admired by everyone who visits Istanbul and is one of the important symbols of the city. It is known as one of the largest buildings of the period it was built and is even visible from the Bosphorus. It is one of the structures that those who will visit the historical peninsula should see first. The Sultan Ahmet Camii also gives its name to the area, Sultanahmet, where it is located. Directly opposite you can see the Hagia Sophia Museum, which is also one of our very important historical monuments.
