Istanbul is famous for its Mosques and Ottoman Architecture. As the capital of the Ottoman Empire since 1453 and the largest city of Turkey, Istanbul is home to over 3000 mosques. This makes it overwhelming to decide which ones to visit, but here are 5 of the most important mosques to see based on their architectural character and historical context.
