The Sultanahmet Mosque is an important landmark in Istanbul. The mosque is located in the Oskodar district of the Asian section of Istanbul.
The Mosque of Sultanah Mahramah was built in 1548 at the request of Sultan Mehramah, the daughter of Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent. Where she asked the architect Sinan Agha to build a mosque in her name to determine where he was awarded this architectural masterpiece in the area of Skodar in the Asian section of Istanbul. Several years later, the Sultan asked his mahram to build another mosque for it, which also determined its place. He chose a place on a high hill on the European side of Istanbul in the Adriana Capi region.
The architect Sinan Agha created the construction site as he did in the building itself. The mosque was initially built as an Ottoman college with its center of the mosque surrounded by a large kitchen, a hospital and a school. And to build this mosque legend, where it is said that he competed for the love of Sultan Mahramh Ahmed Pasha Governor of Diyarbakir and architect Sinan Agha, and finally married Sultan Ahmed Pasha. When the Sultan asked his mahram from the architect Sinan Agha to pay homage to her, he built a magnificent mosque in Oscodar in the Asian section of Istanbul in 1548, and built another university in the European part of the Adriana Capi region in 1562-1565.
The university bears the same name and secret in that on March 21 of each year, the day of the birth of the Sultan Mahramah, when the sun disappears behind the minaret of the mosque of Sultanah in the European part, the moon appears above the minaret of the Sultan Mosque in the Asian part, as the sun and the moon do not meet Sinan Agha also did not meet with his beloved, so we have every mosque in one section, one in Europe and the other in Asia.
The mosque takes a square shape topped by a large dome with a diameter of 10 m, based on four columns. The dome's base is surrounded by windows that provide illumination for the mosque. The pulpit is made of sculpted white marble. The mosque contains a solar clock in the courtyard of the mosque to indicate the hours of noon and afternoon prayers.
