This second largest mosque in Istanbul is a testimony to the greatest ruler of the Ottoman Empire, Suleiman the Magnificent the 10th Sultan of Ottoman Empire. The construction of the Suleiman Mosque began in 1550 and the mosque itself was completed in 1557. The mosque is actually a complex building with the tombs of Suleiman and his wife, Hurrem Sultan (Roxelana).
