Hey my friends , today i am going to talk about a very beautiful islamic building , it's the Suleymaniye Mosque in Istanbul , Turkey .
This mosque is a masterpiece because it was built in the age of Ottmanic empiror (the greatest Islamic emperor) .

The Suleymaniye Mosque is the largest masjid in Istanbul and regarded as its most important. It was built in the 16th centery on the order of Sulaymane the Magnificent by the great architect Sinan.
Suleymaniye mosque wasn't a place just for worshiping god, but also a charitable foundation , it's surrounded by its former hospital, soup kitchen, schools, caravanserai ...
The complex provided a welfare system which fed over 1,000 of the city’s poor people everyday .
Behind the main mosque in a garden there are two mausoleums including the tombs of Sultan Sulayman and members of his family .
The Suleymaniye Mosque was damaged by a fire in 1660 and was restored by Sultan Mohmmed IV .

I want to visit this place so much , it's got my mind .......
