Description Perhaps the grandest, most superb example of Ottoman architecture in Istanbul, the Sulayman Mosque is also a tribute to the finest Ottoman architect, Sinan. It was built between 1550 and 1557, and is the second largest mosque in the city. The vaulting style of the awesome prayer hall is borrowed from Hagia Sophia, and the overall effect is one of such harmony and grace that it creates a simple, non-ornate space that lends itself to meditation and quiet reflection.
