List Of Friday Mosques Designed By Mimar Sinan
This is a list of the Friday mosques for which the Ottoman architect Mimar Sinan claimed responsibility in his autobiographies. Of the 77 mosques in the list, 39 are in Istanbul. Background Mimar Sinan was appointed to the post of chief Ottoman architect by the grand vizier Ayas Mehmed Pasha in 1539. Sinan occupied the position until his death in 1588 and served under three sultans: Süleyman I (ruled 1520–66), Selim II (ruled 1566–74) and Murad III (ruled 1574–95). In his autobiography ''Biographical Memoir of Construction'' (''Teẕkiretü’l-bünyān''), Sinan claimed to have designed 698 building including 80 Friday mosques and more than 400 smaller community mosques (''masjids''). In reality he led a team of royal architects and the buildings would have been collective works. Sinan himself would have been occupied with the large building projects undertaken for the sultan. These were the Şehzade Mosque (1543–48), the Süleymaniye Mosque (1548–59), the Kirkç ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
