The Aya Sofia might be more famous, but the next-door Blue Mosque should not be missed for its inner and outer beauty.
The name Blue Mosque evokes images of a coloured building, or perhaps the shimmering of the sea reflected on its walls. Its name, however, comes from the blue tiles inside the mosque; from the outside, it is perfectly grey. This does not mean, however, that the attraction of the Blue Mosque is its interior. It is actually very exciting to approach the mosque and gradually get overwhelmed by it. The classical entrance is through the west side, from the Hippodrome, where you can visit several smaller sights like the Spiral Column and the Obelisk of Theodosius.
