Sultan Ahmet Camii (Blue Mosque)

We visited the Mosque which was spectacular inside, with its 20,000 iznik blue tiles adorning the walls and vaulted domes, which give the Mosque its colloquial name. It is known locally as Sultan Ahmet Camii ……, and built by Sultan Ahmet 1^st between 1603-17. Our pictures don’t capture the full splendour of the building, and hopefully I can get a “youtube link” for a short video. We had to take our shoes off and carry them round in a carrier bag provided, and J wore her scarf to cover her head, although it was sad that the majority of tourists didn’t bother.
