You can see where the Blue Mosque got its inspiration- the Hagia Sofia is directly opposite! true to its name, every surface inside is covered in beautiful Blue tiles. Its also still used as a mosque so a fascinating insight.

Blue Mosque

posted by awesme on 1 July 2009 at 02:37

The Blue Mosque is one of the most sacred and most beautiful religious places in the world. The proportions and prominence of the mosque replete with six minarets make it a fine example of Islamic places of worship. It was built between 1609-1616 next to the Hagia sophia in central Istanbul. The blue tiles set the space alight with a radiant and wondrous light. Tourists must enter through the North Gate and remove their shoes.
