Why is it called the Blue Mosque? The answer is because the tiles covering the walls and the dome of the mosque are blue. The mosque has 6 minarets which are said to have said Sultan Ahmed 1 had been criticized for having the same number of minarets as the Grand Mosque in Mecca. To overcome this finally Sultan Ahmed 1 contributed the cost of making the 7th tower of the Haram.
If you want to go visit this mosque, you are required to wear modest clothes and women are required to wear the hijab. When entering the mosque complex, you will be presented with a magnificent and charming architecture of the Blue Mosque which is the largest mosque in Istanbul and has become one of the tourist attractions in Turkey that you must visit.
