Kara Ahmet Pasha Mosque

April 13, 2010 00:49 by haci

The Kara Ahmet Pasha Mosque (Turkish: Kara Ahmet Paşa Camii) is an Ottoman mosque along the city walls in Istanbul, Turkey.

Kara Ahmet Pasha Mosque, also known as Gazi Ahmet Paşa Camii is one of Mimar Sinan's lesser-known achievements. He built it in 1554 for Kara Ahmed Pasha, a grand vizier of Suleiman the Magnificent (Turkish: Süleyman).

Architecture
The courtyard is surrounded by the cells of a medrese and a dershane, or main classroom. Attractive apple green and yellow Iznik tiles grace the porch, while blue and white ones are found on the east wall of the prayer hall. These tiles date from the mid 16th century. On the three galleries, the wooden ceiling under the west one is elaborately painted in red, blue, gold and black.

Can I make a suggestion?  I think youve got something good here.  But what if you added a couple links to a page that backs up what youre saying?  Or maybe you could give us something to look at, something that would connect what youre saying to something tangible?  Just a suggestion.

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.

This layout is so stellar.  How did you manage to make a blog thats as smart as it is sleek? I mean, its like an Aston Martin --smart and sexy at the same time.   Ive got to say, the layout alone made me come back to this blog again.  But now that Ive read what youve got to say, Ive got to share it with the world!

I was wondering if you ever considered changing the layout of your blog?  Its very well written; I love what youve got to say.  But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better.  Youve got an awful lot of text for only having one or two images.  Maybe you could space it out better?
