The Blue Mosque, which was built in the early 1600's is so named because of all the blue tiles that decorate its walls. It is massive inside as you can see from the photos and is still used as a functioning mosque to this day. It's located in the Sultanahamet area of Istanbul, nearby you will find the Hagia Sofia museum, the Hippodrome, the Topkapi Palace and the Basilica Cistern.
