The Selimiye Camii or Mosque for Selim was built by architect Sinan for Sultan Selim II. The mosque is the pinnacle of classical Ottoman building. Sinan called the Princes’ (Şezade) Mosque in Istanbul his apprentice work, the Süleymaniye his journeyman’s work, and the Selimiye his masterpiece. He was 85 when he finished it. The central dome is supported by 8 columns on the corner of an octagon, that itself is embedded in a square basis (36 x 45 metres). Between the columns there is an alternation between semi-domes and supporting walls. The dome is 45 m. high and 31,5 m. in diameter. The minarets, each 80 m. high, each counting three balconies, increases the vertical impression of the building. In contrast, the courtyard with an arcade covered by 18 domes provides a horizontal impression. The Selimiye is the centre of a külliye, a complex with a covered bazaar at its foot, a medrese or Koran school and a hospital. If you like this mosque you may want to see a fine collection of Istanbul mosques, many by Sinan.

Sallams. Insha-Allah one day I plan to travel from England to visit this mosque. This really is a masterpiece in archtitecture. Many thanks for sharing. A stunning design by Sinan.

This mosque takes my breath away, the sheer and size and grandeur of it. I just absolutely admire the architecture and motifs painted on the dome. I hope i can pray in there one day :)
