The Blue Mosque is one of the most prominent landmarks of Istanbul, especially when viewed from the First Hill or from the Asian shore of the Sea of Marmara. It is very impressive with its beautiful domes and semidomes, nice courtyards and six slender minarets.Completed in 1616, the Blue Mosque is just opposite of the splendid Church of Hagia Sophia as it is trying to compete with it.
