Located in the district of Fatih, the beautiful Şehzade Mosque lies on the third hill of Istanbul. Also known as Şehzade Camii in Turkish, this mosque was built as a memorial to Suleiman the Magnificent's son, Şehzade Mehmed who died of smallpox in 1543. With a wonderful garden, this was the first important mosque to be designed by Mimar Sinan. Be inspired by the two minarets with twin balconies and a fascinating façade with embellishments. Step inside to see the majestic central dome which is supported by four semi-domes. Admire the elegant arches in alternating pink and white marble in the courtyard bordered by a portico with five domed bays.
