About Süleymaniye Mosque
Completed in 1557 for Suleiman the Magnificent, this hilltop mosque is many Istanbulites' favorite. The proportions are perfect, the interior is calm and airy, and the terrace offers what may be the finest free view in the city.
Insider tips
- The rear garden looks out over the Golden Horn — bring coffee.
- Sinan's own tomb sits in a modest kiosk just outside the walls.
