Everything about R Stem Pasha Mosque totally explained
The
Rüstem Pasha Mosque is an
Ottoman mosque located in Hasırcılar Çarşısı (Strawmat Weavers Market) in
Eminönü,
Istanbul.
It was designed by
Mimar Sinan ("Sinan the Architect") for Grand
Vizier Rüstem Pasha (who married one of the daughters of
Suleiman the Magnificent, Princess
Mihrimah). Its building took place from
1561 to
1563. The mosque is famous for its exquisite
İznik tiles, set in beautiful floral and geometric designs, which cover not only the facade of the porch but also the
mihrab,
minbar, walls, and columns.
The plan of the mosque consists of an
octagon inscribed in a rectangle. The
dome rests on four semi-domes; not on the axes but in the diagonals of the building.
The arches of the dome spring from four octagonal pillars— two on the north, two on the south— and from piers projecting from the east and west walls. To the north and south are galleries supported by pillars and by small marble columns between them.
