A special thing of the Sultan Ahmed Masjid is that it is
dubbed the Blue Mosque because of over 20,000
handmade ceramic Iznik tiles that decorate the interior,
featuring many different tulips, rose, carnation, and lily
designs, well lit by 260 windows. The 20,000 blue tiles
adorning the interior were made in Iznik, an area that

production of ceramic tiles. These tiles also gave

most famous for its six minarets, accompanied by one
large dome and eight smaller domes.
