Visit Istanbul Mosques and get a glimpse of the beauty of the intersection of faith and architecture

Walking in Istanbul, a thousand-year-old city connecting Europe and Asia, I specially arranged a "mosque tour". Starting from the magnificent dome and blue porcelain walls of the Blue Mosque (Sultan Ahmed Mosque), I also visited the Green Mosque (Yesil Cami) with its beautiful garden and tranquil atmosphere along the way. The Green Mosque is actually located in Bursa and is one of the classics of Ottoman architecture, but many travelers will include it in the Istanbul extension itinerary. It is famous for its emerald green tiles, and the interior walls are covered with exquisite Arabic calligraphy and geometric patterns. Walking in is like walking into an art hall where prayer and crafts are intertwined. Compared with other mosques in Istanbul, such as the New Mosque and the Suleymaniye Mosque, the Green Mosque has a more tranquil texture of a mountain city. This tour made me understand more that mosques are not just religious places, but also spiritual fields where culture, architecture and history are intertwined. 📍Places to check in: Blue Mosque (Istanbul), Green Mosque (Bursa) #Istanbul #Mosque Tour #Green Mosque #Blue Mosque #Islamic Art #Ottoman Architecture #Bursa Attractions #Cultural Travel #Architectural Aesthetics #Eurasia Meeting #July Good Places 2025
