Rüstem Paşa Camii
I reached the mosque just after the 5:00 prayer finished and before time to break fast. Yes, it is Ramazan now. Anyway, although small, I think this was absolutely the most beautiful mosque I visited. No others where as beautifully adorned by blue Iznik tiles. Like the Süleymaniye Camii and parts of the decoration of Ayasofya, this mosque was designed by Sinan. Although the rest of Sultanahmet was crowded with tourists and others, this mosque was quiet and, I think, well worth a visit. What do you think?
