Istanbul december 2009 5720.jpg

Inside I took many pictures of the tiles, that are used with wisdom, not covering whole walls, but only on selected areas: pendentives of the dome, the mihrab section, under the galleries.

A calligraphic inscription on a panel of Iznik tiles, inside the Sokollu Mehmet Paşa Mosque.
Classical Ottoman, around 1570.
