This is the Blue Mosque (at night). It was built in the early 1600's. There are
6 minarets, however, you can only see 5 in this photo.

Minaret
These blue tiles are what give the Blue Mosque its name.
No shoes allowed inside. We also had to wear sheets of fabric over our arms to cover up.
In the outside courtyard.
The Blue Mosque is an active mosque and is closed to tourists daily during prayer times.
These faucets are used by the Muslim's to wash themselves before they enter the mosque.
