One of the two great mosques in the old Imperial district of Istanbul, is the Sultanahmet Camii, commonly known as the Blue Mosque. This is an active place of worship and a magnificent building.The mosque was built on the orders of Sultan Ahmet I between 1609 and 1616 AD and derives its common name from the tens of thousands of blue tiles lining the interior
