The always crowded Blue Mosque, which gives its name to the historical district of Istanbul, is at the top of the list of places to see in Istanbul all over the world. If you ask me, there are more aesthetic mosques in Istanbul, especially the Rüstem Pasha and Ortaköy Mosques, but of course, the Blue Mosque has a completely different weight with its place in history and the city skyline. Sultan Ahmet I, who had the mosque built, wanted to do exactly that: to put his signature on Istanbul with an imposing mosque that will be visible from all over Istanbul.
Thus, the only 6 minaret mosque of the Ottoman Empire was built. It is adorned from earth to sky with more than 20 thousand Iznik tiles. These tiles are the reason why foreigners call this mosque the "Blue Mosque". However, this mosque is met with a lot of reaction both at home and abroad. People are upset that the state coffers are being emptied with unnecessary expenditures, and the Muslim world is upset with the world's only mosque with 6 minarets in the Kaaba. So much so that the Sultan had to build a 7th minaret for the mosque in the Kaaba. We'll explain everything soon.

about us
One of the magnificent historical structures of Istanbul is the Basilica Cistern, located in the southwest of Hagia Sophia.
One of the magnificent historical structures of Istanbul is the Basilica Cistern, located in the southwest of Hagia Sophia. This large underground cistern, built by the Byzantine Emperor Justinian I (527-565), was called the "Basilica Palace" among the people because of the marble columns rising from the water and appearing as innumerable. It is also known as the Basilica Cistern because there was a Basilica in the place where the cistern is located.
The cistern is a giant structure covering a rectangular area of 140 meters in length and 70 meters in width. Covering a total area of 9,800 m2, this cistern has a water storage capacity of approximately 100,000 tons. There are 336 columns, each 9 meters high, inside this cistern, which is descended by a 52-step stone staircase. These columns, erected at intervals of 4.80 meters from each other, form 12 rows of 28 columns each. Most of the columns, most of which are understood to have been collected from older buildings and carved from various types of marble, consist of one piece and some of them are made of two pieces. The headings of these columns have different features from place to place. While 98 of them reflect the Corinthian style, some of them reflect the Doric style. Most of the columns in the cistern are cylindrical except for a few that are angular or grooved. Since the 8 columns in front of the northeast wall towards the middle of the cistern were exposed to the danger of breaking during a construction in 1955-1960, each of them was frozen in a thick concrete layer and therefore lost its old characteristics. The ceiling space of the cistern was transferred to the columns by means of arches. The 4.80-meter-thick brick walls and brick floor of the cistern were plastered with a thick layer of Khorasan mortar and made watertight.

Flower Passage History
 
During the Tanzimat period, Sultan Abdulhamid and Sultan Abdulaziz used to come to the famous Naum Theater in Beyoğlu, at the intersection of Istiklal Street and Sahne Street, to watch the theater. Verdi's famous opera "II Trovatore" was staged in this theater in Istanbul before Paris. Naum Theater has become one of the few cultural centers of Istanbul and Europe due to the Italian operas staged.
In the great Beyoğlu fire that took place in 1870, the Naum Theater was destroyed by burning and became one of the buildings that were rebuilt after the fire. One of the Greek bankers known as "Galata Bankers", Hristaki Zografos Efendi bought the place of the burned Naum Theater in 1876. On this land, he had a new type of building built, including a bazaar and an apartment, with the project he had Italian architect Cleanthy Zanno draw.
Under the building, the construction of which was completed in 1876, there were 24 shops arranged in Parisian style, which was fashionable at that time, and 18 luxury apartments above it. The passage formed by the shops was called "Hristaki Passage", and the building was called "Cite de Pera". Acemyan's tobacco shop, Maison Parret and Vallaury's patisserie, Japanese store, Natural florist, Pandelis' flower shop, Schumacher's bakery, Papadopoulos' bookbinder, Keserciyan's tailor shop, Yorgo's tavern, which were opened in the early stages of the passage, Businesses such as Sideris' fur shop were a few of these shops.
After the ownership of the building passed to the Grand Vizier Sait Pasha in 1908, the passage was named "Sait Pasha Pass". During the 1940 Armistice years, florists began to settle in the small shops in the passage. White Russian women, baronesses and duchesses fleeing the October Revolution were also some of those who sold flowers here. When Cite de Pera started to be used as a flower auction place for a while, florists in Beyoğlu gathered in the passage and the name of the passage was changed to "Çiçekçiler Passage".
Beer and taverns opened in the 1940s, after a while, gradually moved the residents and florists to other places, and only the name "flower" remained. It was Yorgo Efendi who opened the first tavern of the passage. In the following period, with the efforts of the Association for Beautifying and Sustaining Çiçek Pasajı, it was restored considering its original condition. After the restoration in 1988, it was reopened for use as a tavern, and in December 2005, the last maintenance and renovation works of the historical building were carried out with the support of Mey İçki A.Ş. The roof and all other visual elements have been restored and a bright, spacious and pleasant environment has been created.
Pictures of the former business owners, the picture of the famous gourmet, architect and writer Aydın Boysan, one of the Regulars of the Passage, and the painting of the accordionist Madam Anahit adorn the walls of the Passage. Çiçek Pasajı (Hristaki Passage-Cite de Pera), with its flamboyant facade architecture, still has the distinction of being the most decorated building in Beyoğlu. In the answers given to the question "What comes to mind when Beyoğlu is mentioned?" in a survey conducted by the Beyoğlu Beautification Association, Çiçek Pasaji took the first place.
Dear Can Kıraç, in his article dated October 2, 1997, expresses the beautiful atmosphere of Çiçek Pasajı with the following lines; "Çiçek Passage was the first stop, the guiding center of Beyoğlu evenings... It is a place where stress is relieved with the first sip of a long evening or a glass or two before going home. A different realm is experienced every day and every night in Çiçek Pasajı Taverns that fill our hearts with enthusiasm. ... The appetizers decorating the tables open new horizons for your eyes and palate. They always open new hopes on the tables of those who sip their raki and plunge into their dream worlds... and at the tables shared with friends, the poets of people also emerge... Like tavern bards and knights meeting their own worlds. "The brave fall in love like crazy people. If you fall in love one day, don't forget to dive into this world of dreams. Because dreaming is different in Çiçek Pasajı taverns."
Flower Passage; It is at your service with its beer, rakı, the most delicious appetizers and its renewed historical atmosphere.
