📍SULTANAHMET CAMİİ
This mosque is one of the historical buildings in the Historic Area of Istanbul, which is registered as a World Heritage Site, and is one of the highlights of Istanbul along with Hagia Sophia.
It is covered with blue tiles, and it is said to have been named this because of its splendor.
Its distinctive feature is its six minarets.
Normal mosques have four minarets, but only the Blue Mosque has six.
When you actually go inside, you will be surprised at its size.
You will also be fascinated by the delicate reliefs, Arabic letters, and beautiful stained glass.
I tried to take a full view from the outside, but it was too big to do.
The entrance fee to Hagia Sophia is a surprising 5,000 yen (as of 2024), but the Blue Mosque is free!
You don't need a ticket, so you can enter quite easily.
It's one of the mosques you should definitely visit in Istanbul☺️
