Three Mosques in a Day

Standard

We started out with the oldest and moved to the newest one which is a mere 500 years old. Just like the cathedrals in Europe, they are meant to inspire awe and majesty! I took a zillion pictures and since I don’t want to overwhelm you I will post five to six of each, starting with the outside shot. I may get carried away with the last one though because it was tall, beautiful, graceful and looks like it belongs in a fairy tale. The mosques were: the Old Mosque ( yes, that really is the name), the Three Balconies Mosque, and finally, the Selimiye Mosque (built by the famous architect, Sinan).

Random pictures will be posted in between to divide them up.
