The interior walls and mimber are decorated with spectacular red-and-blue Iznik tiles – some of the best ever made.

Suleymaniye Mosque, masterpiece of Sinan, the chief architect of the Ottoman Empire, built in the name of Suleyman The Magnificent during the 16th. century, considered as the best amongst the imperial mosques.
