Istanbul 7th Hill 0991.jpg

This is the Ramazan Efendi Mosque, the last mosque built by Sinan. It's from 1586. It has famous faience from the best period of Iznik production. The imam - whom I asked if I could take some pictures after prayer ended - didn't give me a chance to take pictures, my impression was that he wanted to hurry off to lunch, I hope it tasted well, I left with a foul taste in my mind.

The one specimen I managed.
