If you ever visit Istanbul, you’ll find it hard to miss the various extraordinary mosques built by the Ottomans. Dotted throughout the city, the most famous of them all is the Sultan Ahmed Mosque, better known as the Blue Mosque. From its numerous delicate minarets on the outside to the beautiful designs and colours used on the inside, everything about the Blue Mosque says “architectural masterpiece”. However, even though it was built at a time when the Ottoman Empire was it peak, the circumstances in which the Blue Mosque was constructed were far from favourable and may even point to the eventual decline of the great Ottoman Empire.
