Rustempasa Mosque This is the mosque with a central dome and a single minaret that arises amidst the rows of shops and storehouses near the Spice Bazaar. It creates a beautiful sight in the busiest commercial center in Istanbul, together with the Suleymaniye Mosque on the slope behind. The architect Sinan built the mosque in 1561 for the Grand Vizier Rustem Pasa. Spiraling staircases go up to the structure that is set above a row of shops. The interesting courtyard is actually a small terrace covered by five small domes.It is situated on the European side of Istanbul,in Eminonu.  Source: http://english.istanbul.gov.tr |
