The Blue Mosque is one of Istanbul’s most iconic landmarks – and understandably so. The eight domes and six minarets are impressive from the outside, but it’s not until one goes inside that the sheer splendour of the structure hits. The tiles covering the interior are – as the mosque’s name suggests – mostly blue, but intricately designed. Countless patterns are paired together to form a chaotic harmony that forces the viewer’s eyes to crawl across every tiled wall and surface.
