The mosque is located in the centre of a large religious complex (kulliye), stands as the most important work of Architect Sinan, one of the greatest architects in the history of the world.
The monumental tombs of the Sultan and his wife, Hurrem Sultan (Roxelane) are in the graveyard to the south-east of the mosque. In comparison with Istanbul’s other religious buildings, the Suleymaniye Mosque clearly stands out as an unique example of classical Ottoman architecture with perfectly integrated sections, beautiful stained-glass windows and the extraordinary harmony of its structural elements.
