Located on the hill above the Sultanahmet district, the Süleymaniye Mosque is one of the most recognized benchmarks of Istanbul.It was built for Süleyman the Magnificent by the famous Ottoman architect, Sinan, between 1549 and 75. The interior, dominated by his 53 -meter high dome, is notable for his harmonious proportions and the design unit.Outside in the quiet area of the garden, the Ottoman cemetery is also interesting, which also hosts Türbe (the graves) of Sultan Süleyman and his wife Haseki Hürrem Sultan (known in the west as Roxelana).
