In the heart of Istanbul, where East meets West, where ancient history intertwines with modernity, and where the call to prayer echoes alongside the bustling city life, lies a tapestry of cultural richness and spiritual depth. It is a city of mosques, each with its own unique story to tell, each standing as a testament to the enduring legacy of human civilization. This book is a journey through the mosques of Istanbul, a celebration of their beauty, history, and significance in the fabric of the city. From the majestic domes of Hagia Sophia to the serene courtyards of Süleymaniye Mosque, each chapter invites readers to explore the architectural marvels, cultural treasures, and spiritual sanctuaries that define Istanbul's skyline. But more than just a guidebook, this volume seeks to delve into the soul of Istanbul, to uncover the stories of the people who built these mosques, the communities that gather within their walls, and the traditions that have been passed down through generations. It is a testament to the resilience of faith, the power of art, and the enduring spirit of a city that has stood at the crossroads of civilizations for millennia. As we embark on this journey, may we come to appreciate not only the beauty of Istanbul's mosques but also the diversity of its people, the richness of its history, and the depth of its cultural heritage. May this book serve as a window into the soul of Istanbul, inviting readers to discover the magic, the mystery, and the majesty of this timeless city.

Together, Suleymaniye (1550-57) and Sultanahmet (1609-16, better known today as the Blue Mosque) are an awe inspiring testament to the power of faith and the splendour of the Ottoman Empire. These two mosques, bearing the names and housing the mausoleums of the Sultans who built them - Suleyman and Ahmed I - are supreme examples of Ottoman architecture, each richly adorned with stone carving, tiling and calligraphy. Each was built with an adjacent complex (kulliye) which contained the finest schools of the time, as well as hospitals, shops, soup kitchens and public baths. This book is a richly illustrated guide to Suleymaniye and Sultanahmet. It includes an in-depth study of the architecture, situating the mosques within the wider context of the Ottoman political and artistic milieu of their time, and examining the religious, social and educational activity that revolved around each complex. Text in English & Turkish AUTHOR: Tarkan Okcuoglu is an assistant professor in the art history department of Istanbul University.
