7/10

spiritual

Perched on the Fifth Hill with commanding views of the Golden Horn, this mosque was built by Süleyman the Magnificent to honour his fearsome father, Selim the Grim. The austere exterior suits a sultan known more for conquest than art. The courtyard's ancient columns and the sweeping panorama from the garden make the climb up from the waterfront worth every step.
