geçmiş de kalmışım öylece. 🌿

[cayvesulh]

geçmişin yaşadığı bi yer vardır her zaman; zihinler ve mekanlar meskenidir onun. unutmak değildir, hesaplaşmak; çünkü kendi kendine hesaplaşamazsın.

geçmişi affetmek gerek zamanı geldiğinde, her hatırayı tebessümle anmak gerek. çünkü asla hesaplaşamazsın onunla, ya alacaklısındır ya da borçlu. üstelik kendi kendine hesaplaşamazsın; geçmiş karşında olmalı.

Sokollu Mehmed Pasha Mosque in Fatih

Sokollu Mehmed Pasha Mosque (Turkish: Sokollu Mehmet Paşa Camii) is a 16th-century Ottoman mosque in the Kadırga neighborhood in Fatih district, Istanbul, Turkey.

It was commissioned jointly by the grand vizier Sokollu Mehmed Pasha and his wife Ismihan Sultan. It was designed by the imperial architect Mimar Sinan and completed in 1571/2. The mosque is noted for the fine quality of the Iznik tiles that decorate the interior walls.

The mosque was designed by Ottoman imperial architect Mimar Sinan for the grand vizier Sokollu Mehmed Pasha and his wife Ismihan Sultan, a daughter of Selim II and one of the granddaughters of Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent.

According to the foundation inscription in Turkish above the north entrance to the courtyard, the building was completed in 1571/72.

Although İsmihan Sultan and her husband jointly endowed the mosque, only Sokollu Mehmed Pasha is listed on the foundation inscription.

The mosque is noted for its architecturally challenging location on a steep slope.

Sinan resolved this issue by fronting the mosque with a two-storey courtyard. The bottom storey was divided into shops, whose rents were intended to help support the upkeep of the mosque. The upper storey with an open colonnaded courtyard had the spaces between the columns on three sides walled off to form small rooms, each with a small window, fireplace and niche to store bedding, forming the living accommodations for a madrasah. The fourth side of the courtyard is the mosque itself, which is designed as a hexagon inscribed in a rectangle, topped by a dome with four small semi-domes in the corners.

The dome is 13 metres (43 ft) in diameter and 22.8 metres (75 ft) high. The ablution fountain in the courtyard has twelve columns supporting an onion shaped dome.

The single minaret is placed at the northeast corner of the mosque.

The interior of the Sokollu Mehmed Pasha Mosque is famous for the İznik tiles, decorated with a wide variety of blue, red and green floral designs, with panels of calligraphy in white thuluth letters on a blue ground.

The interior columns make use of polychrome marble. The minbar is made of white marble with a conical cap, sheathed in Iznik tiles. The windows above the mihrab have stained glass. Above the main entrance, framed by a gilded brass bezel, is a fragment of the Kaaba in Mecca; other fragments of this black stone are above the minbar and mihrab.

As well as the tilework, parts of the mosque were originally painted. Most of the paintwork has been renovated but some of the original paintwork survives above the vestibule of the north entrance, on the brackets supporting the balcony above the entrance, and under the ceilings of the side galleries.

That hair, those eyebrows, those captivating gazes, that shapely nose, cherry lips, that fresh complexion... that slender waist that even the clothes on her couldn't hide, a figure that would make cypress trees jealous.

Geleneksel İstanbul Turu 2024 Sezonu 2. Tur.

📍Edirnekapı Mihrimah Sultan Cami

Mimar Sinan'ın eseri. Üsküdar'dakinin yanı sıra Fatih'te de bir Mihrîmâh Sultan için yapılan camiî var. İskender Pala gibiler Sinan-Mihrîmah âşkını anlatır ama tamamen safsatadır.

📍Kariye Cami

Diğer adıyla Azize Kurtarıcı Hora Kilisesi... İkonakırıcılar, Latin istilası, deprem vs. rağmen mozaikleri ve freskleri en iyi korunmuş yerlerden biri. Metokhiles'in yeniden inşasında Bizans Rönesansının en çarpıcı eserlerindendir.

📍Tekfur sarayı

Diğer adlarıyla Blakernai veya Porfiroğenitus Sarayı. Ben biraz geç gittiğim için içeri giremedim. Theodosius surunun yanındaki bu yer, zamanında heybetli bir yapıymış. Günümüze tek bölümü ulaşsa da görülmeye değer.

Ayrıca not düşeyim. Bence Karagümrük'ten Balat'a inen sokaklar yapısı, sakinliği ile Balat'tan çok daha güzel. İnançlı kişiler buradaki sahabe mezarlarını da ziyaret edebilir.

Ayrıca Pisa Kulesi'nin eğikliğini hepiniz beğenirsiniz ama Eğik Kapımız yeterince değer görmüyor... Tamam evet bir Pisa değil ama bizim de eğikliklerimiz var...

Şu kapıdaki işlemeler çok hoşuma gitti. Not düşeyim.

📍Balat

Son olarak Balat arkadaşlara gezdiriliyor ve Cennet Mahallesi'ndeki atıl kalmış evler gösteriliyor, finalinden memnun kaldınız mı sorusu sorulup gezi ufaktan bitiriliyor...
