    Attending a mass in Mihrimah Sultan Mosque was one of the most incredible experiences of my life! The stunning architecture and attention to detail throughout the mosque was breathtaking. The sense of history and tradition that surrounded me was truly awe-inspiring. As I entered the mosque, I was immediately struck by the peaceful and welcoming atmosphere. I felt a sense of warmth and community among the other worshippers. It was a beautiful experience to share with such kind and welcoming people. The mass itself was so spiritual and moving, and I found myself completely immersed in the moment. The call to prayer echoed throughout the mosque, and I felt a deep sense of connection to the rich and beautiful history of Islam. Overall, my visit to Mihrimah Sultan Mosque was a highlight of my trip to Turkey. I highly recommend this mosque to anyone who wants to experience the beauty and spirituality of Islam, and to connect with the kind and welcoming people of Turkey. It's an unforgettable experience that I will cherish forever!

    Beautifully restored and maintained mosques and surrounding buildings. I loved the abundance of natural lighting inside and the brilliant colours in the stained glass. It is always an terrific feature when you see the huge pattern in the centre of the main prayer hall carpet, just like Fatih Mosque. Well worth a visit.
