The Aya Sofia might be more famous, but the next-door Blue Mosque should not be missed for its inner and outer beauty.
Once inside, as your eyes adjust to the dark, you slowly discover the beauty of the calligraphy, the painted arabesques on the roof of the domes, the stained-glass windows letting through enough light to give the place exactly the appropriate atmosphere for a house of Allah. Four massive pillars support the structure, and above you, you can see the blue tiles from which the mosque takes its name. Unfortunately, you cannot get closer to them. Best is to sit down on the carpet on the floor and let the mosque do its impressive work on your eyes.
