伊斯坦布尔有很多瑰丽的清真寺，其中受圣索菲亚大教堂影响而建立的苏莱曼清真寺无疑是其中最闪耀的一座。由奥斯曼帝国苏莱曼大帝在公元1550到1557年敕建，这座清真寺的总设计师是当时帝国最出色的建筑师米玛尔•锡南。

    Perched atop Istanbul on one of the city's hills, Suleymaniye Mosque is known for its four minarets and domes. Inside, it creates an immediate impression of airy spaciousness as the walls of the mosque seem to rise effortlessly around you. The mosque is lit by the sunlight streaming through the 16th century stained glass windows and a huge chandelier in the midst of the main chamber.
