Blue Mosque

Japanese: ブルー・モスク(英語表記)Blue Mosque
Blue Mosque
A mosque in Istanbul. Its correct name is Ahmed I's Mosque (Ahmediye Cami). It is so named because the decorative tiles on the interior walls of the mosque are predominantly blue. It was built by the court architect Sedefkar Mehmed Agha, known as the second most outstanding architect after Sinan. Construction began in 1609 and was completed in 1617. It is a representative example of classical Ottoman Turkish architecture. It is located south of the ancient stadium, the highest point in Istanbul, so its magnificent dome and minaret can be seen from far away.
