Selimiye Mosque Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
This mosque is a very grand building in Edirne, designed by the great Ottoman architect Mimar Sinan and named after Sultan Selim II. Although the size of the mosque is small, it is very delicate, and the interior decoration style is typical Islamic style. In 1913, when Bulgaria besieged Edirne, the dome of the Selimiye Mosque was hit by Bulgarian artillery. Due to the solid structure of the mosque, the Selimiye mosque suffered only minor damage. The father of Turkey, Ataturk, ordered that it not be repaired, so that future generations will always learn from this. The location of the damage caused is between the blue circle and the dark red calligraphic font. The Serimiye Mosque is also printed on the back of the 10,000 Turkish Lira banknotes issued from 1982 to 1995 as a symbol of the country, which shows its important status. The mosque is a very important monument of this historical city. As a historical building, its exterior and interior decoration will not disappoint you. Outside the mosque are quiet streets and beautiful gardens, and walking around while admiring the scenery is also a pleasant experience.

This is the larger mosque in the area, very famous, and many people come to worship, very good.
The style of architecture was one of two forms of mosque architecture that existed in Bursa, the capital of the early Os Empire. The mosque was supported by rows of arches and columns with a series of small domes. There is a beautiful Mihrab inside the temple, and there are huge inscriptions on the walls.
It is a powerful size and can be seen well from a distance.
The Blue Mosque is a luxurious version of the most satisfying work of Hinan. But I prefer Seremier, perhaps less, more refined and more lifelike. There are too many people in the blue mosque, and there is a large area of enclosure inside.
It's a spectacular building. It's a good place. It's good.
