Actual name is Sultan Ahmed Mosque. It’s called Blue Mosque because of its interior panels, but I didn’t get inside because it was prayer time. The outside is awe-inspiring in itself. Built from 1609-1616.

Is it already snowing in Istanbul?
Interesting to see pictures of the Sultanahmet mosque in the snow.
Yes! They say all over the Middle East this will be the harshest winter yet – so it has already started snowing and dropping degrees.
It is unbelievable it is standing after all these centuries.
I know!
Hi Jacqueline! I was in Istanbul several months ago too (I’m Turkish myself). I hope you enjoyed your time there? These photos are beautiful!
Hi! Yes, Istanbul is incredible! Thank you so much for commenting on my photos! 🙂
