Mimar Sinan Türbesi

The Mimar Sinan Türbesi sits at the corner of a quiet street, marked by a simple, open-air stone canopy rather than a grand mosque dome. This humble structure holds the architect of the Ottoman Empire, Mimar Sinan. He spent his life building the greatest skyline in Istanbul, including the massive Süleymaniye Mosque nearby. In his final years, he chose this modest spot for himself. He left behind over three hundred structures, but he rests under a quiet archway he designed with his own hands.
