It has never been called by Turks as "The Blue Mosque"throughout the history. It is the Sultan Ahmed Mosque.
It has been known with the name of Blue Mosque by most of The westerners, because of its famous blue tiles Iznik (Nicaea) that adorn the interior walls of the mosque. These are more than 21000 in number. In those handmade tiles along blue colour, also white green and other colours were used.
I invite you to enjoy this virtuel visite,
