Historic Mosques & Minarets

Edirne served as the Ottoman capital for nearly a century, leaving a legacy of monumental religious architecture. This collection highlights the evolution of Ottoman design, from the early 15th-century Old Mosque with its monumental calligraphy to Mimar Sinan’s 16th-century Selimiye Mosque, a UNESCO World Heritage site. These structures showcase the transition from multi-domed 'T-plan' mosques to the single-dome mastery that defined the empire's classical age.
