Mihrimah Sultan Mosque

April 20, 2010 01:09 by haci

The Mihrimah Sultan Mosque (Turkish: 'Mihrimah Sultan Camii') is an Ottoman mosque located just inside the Edirne Kapisi on the Byzantine land walls of Istanbul, Turkey. Located on the peak of the Sixth Hill near the highest point of the city, the mosque is a prominent landmark in Istanbul.

History
The Mihrimah Sultan Mosque was designed by Mimar Sinan ("Sinan the Architect") for the favorite daughter of Suleiman the Magnificent, Princess Mihrimah. Its building took place from 1562 to 1565.  The complex has been severely damaged by earthquakes several times (including 1719, 1766, 1814 and 1894), and although efforts were made to restore the mosque, its attendant buildings received less attention. The dome was further damaged during 1999 İzmit earthquake, and required restoration, along with the upper half of the minaret.

What I want to know is why you didnt think to include the other side of this issue?  There are so many things that youre missing here that I dont see how you could actually form an intelligent opinion on the subject.  Its like you didnt even consider that there me be another side here.  Im kind of disappointed.

The next time I read a blog, I hope that it doesnt disappoint me as much as this one.  I mean, I know it was my choice to read, but I actually thought youd have something interesting to say.  All I hear is a bunch of whining about something that you could fix if you werent too busy looking for attention.

Your thoughts are amazing. Your blog, not so much.  I dont want to disrespect you, just hear me out.  Add a little something here.  What youre saying is so important itd be a shame if people missed it because they were bored to death.  May be a video or a link to something as powerful as the subject.  Just a suggestion.

This design is wicked!  You certainly know how to keep a reader entertained.  Between your wit and your videos, I was almost moved to start my own blog (well, almost...HaHa!)  Great job.  I really enjoyed what you had to say, and more than that, how you presented it.  Too cool!

I dont know who you think you are, but youre just blowing smoke out your ears.  Nothing youre saying makes sense and its all a bunch of immature ranting.  If you want people to get behind your blog, you should at the very least learn a little something about what youre talking about!

Aw, this was a really quality post. In theory I'd like to write like this too - taking time and real effort to make a good article... but what can I say... I procrastinate alot and never seem to get something done.
