Suleymaniye mosque complex
The Suleymaniye Mosque Complex in Istanbul, Turkey was commissioned by Sultan Suleyman the Magnificent in the 16th century and designed by the famous architect Mimar Sinan. It includes a large mosque, mausoleums for Sultan Suleyman and his wife Hurrem, madrasas, a hospital, and other buildings modeled after Byzantine basilicas, surrounding a large courtyard. The complex was completed in 1557 and demonstrates the Ottoman architecture of the peak of the empire.
