Hi Ehsan

I wonder if this place is really Iran...
I mean I was once in Istanbul and this looks so similar to the Blue Mosque with its 6 minarettes and the Top Kapi Palace...

If I am wrong then Turkey and Iran looks very similar :-)

Hi Ehsan,
This is "Sultan Ahmet Camii" masque or "BLUE MASQUE" in Hipodram Sq.-Istanbul. Please change Azarbaijan e gharbi to Turkey>>Istanbul
What's so blue about the Blue Mosque? Not much.

Istanbul's imperial Mosque of Sultan Ahmet I (Sultan Ahmet Camii) is called the Blue Mosque because of its interior tiles, mostly on the upper level and difficult to see unless you're right up there with them.

Forget the blue tiles! The mosque (built 1603-17) is the masterwork of Ottoman architect Sedefkār Mehmet Aga. It's built on the site of the Great Palace of Byzantium, on the southeastern side of the Hippodrome.

With its six minarets and a great cascade of domes, the mosque is a worthy sibling to Ayasofya (Hagia Sophia) just a few minutes' stroll to the north.

Regarsd.
Hamid.A.
