The Suleymaniye Mosque is one of the most beautiful mosques in Istanbul, and it is much quieter than the Blue Mosque.
But I came here because it is said that there are Syrian refugees who have not seen a lot of circlings around. I dont know if I changed places or what happened.
If you meet a refugee. It is said that the refugees can be given food, but it is best not to give money, otherwise they will be surrounded, fearing that your money is not enough.

On the way to the Yeni Mosque, along the colorful staircase, you can reach the Suleymani Mosque, a monastery built by the Supreme Emperor of the Ottoman Empire, designed by the first architect of the Republic of Turkey, Sinan.
Suleiman Mosque is the second largest mosque in Istanbul, Turkey. The magnificent buildings are built on the complex and steep third hills, using an amazing architectural scheme that combines the hills with the surrounding streets. It is also known as the "most magnificent monument" of the Ottoman Empire. The
mosque is famous for its rich interior decoration, especially the 16th-century stained glass used in the building. When the sun shines in, it is a great sight. Inside the mosque is the tomb of Suleiman the Great and his wife, next to the tomb of the great designer Sinan. The architect has participated in the design of 400 buildings throughout his life.
Unlike other bustling mosques, the Suleymani Mosque on the mountainside has a sense of solitude, next to green trees and meadows, and overlooking the Bosphorus Strait, my favorite mosque.
The Suleymaniye Mosque is an awesome historical site of one of the largest Mosques in Turkey.
You can feel the power of Allah whenever you see this huge and beautiful architecture. It' s a kind picture of empire Ottomans
The place to come to for perfect quiet, surreal views of the Golden Horn and cityscape, and the most exquisite example of mosque architecture in the city. The sounds of the metropolis melt when you come within the beautiful grounds, leaving you with the sound of the birds and the wind. The courtyard just before the mosque gives picture-perfect perspective views, and inside it is quiet and meditative. Built by the famed architect, Mimar Sinan, this is a must-see.
My favorite Mosque of the trip. Very tranquil experience compared with the Blue Mosque. A place that had a lot more locals than tourists. The sheer size of the Mosque is impressive and the views from the courtyard outside are also stunning.
Due to the limited amount of time that we had in Istanbul, we opted to see the Sulemaniye Mosque instead of the Blue Mosque during our tour of the city. It's away from a lot of the other major sites in Istanbul, but I would highly recommend it. It's very much worth the visit. The mosque is an architectural marvel. There were so many amazing details used in the design of the mosque, down to the use of ostrich eggs to ward away spiders. It's also absolutely beautiful.
