I love the small and beautiful Ortaköy Mosque (Ortaköy Camii in Turkish). Officially the name is Büyük Mecidiye Camii – Grand Imperial Mosque of Sultan Abdülmecid. This house of prayer is situated at the waterside of the Ortaköy pier square, one of the most popular locations on the Bosporus. The building was ordered by the Ottoman sultan Abdülmecid and built between 1854 and 1856. Its architects were Armenian father and son Garabet Amira Balyan and Nigoğayos Balyan (who also designed the nearby Dolmabahçe Palace and the Dolmabahçe Mosque). After several years of cleaning and restoration the mosque has been unveiled and stands in its old splendor on the shore of the Bosporus. . . . @tiebowtie . . #turkeydays #allshotsturkiye #showmeturkey #goturkey #welcometurkia #turksbazaar #welcome_turkia #turkeyhome_tr #goturkia #turkeylife #турция2020 #turkeytourism #turkeyfollowers #turkeymosque #turkeyholiday #turkeyholidays #holidayinturkey #turquia_turismo #turquiaturismo #turquiamagica #turchia🇹🇷 (at Ortaköy Cami) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8ezL2aH5G6/?igshid=ts9sc0capi2p

Somewhere deep in the earth beneath Pamukkale and the ancient Roman city of Hierapolis lies a vast source of water heated by volcanic lava. The water dissolves pure white calcium, becomes saturated with it, and carries it to the earth’s surface, where it bursts forth and runs down a steep hillside. Cooling in the open air, the calcium precipitates from the water, adheres to the soil, and forms white calcium “cascades” frozen in stone called travertines. The water has been bursting forth at Hierapolis/Pamukkale for more than two millennia. The Romans built the spa city of Hierapolis so citizens could come and enjoy the health benefits of the hot mineral water. The beauty of the travertines was just a bonus. When I first visited Pamukkale in 1967, the water was still pouring freely in floods over the cliffs, refreshing and re-purifying the white travertine cascades. Shopkeepers put bottles of local wine into the channels of hot water, and after a few days, each bottle would be completely coated in pure white calcium. What the wine tasted like I can’t say, but the bottles were beautiful in their coats of pure white. . . . @destinationchaser . . . #pamukkaletravertenleri #pamukkaletravertines #pamukkaletranvanter #pamukkaletravel #traverten #travertines #pamukkale #turkeydays #allshotsturkiye #showmeturkey #goturkey #welcometurkia #turksbazaar #welcome_turkia #turkeyhome_tr #goturkia #turkeylife #турция2020 #turkeytourism #turkeyfollowers #turkeyholiday #turkeyholidays #holidayinturkey #turquia_turismo #turquiaturismo #turquiamagica #turchia🇹🇷 (at Pamukkale Tranvanter) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8OK7RMga38/?igshid=1lnyaudttal1v

Very good scene of Maidens tower and Çamlıca Mosque. Lets look at specs of Çamlıca Mosque. Construction on the Camlica Mosque Complex began in 2013 and has a capacity of 63,000 worshippers. Having a combination of Ottoman and Seljuk architectural style, the gigantic mosque on Istanbul's Asian side is now one of the symbols of the city. The structure has may nods to the city and country. It sports six minarets representing six key aspects of Islamic belief including, the belief in one God, the prophets, angels, revealed books, the day of judgment and divine decree. Four of the minarets stand 107.1 meters (352 feet) tall, an acknowledgement to the Seljuk Turks' victory in eastern Turkey at Manzikert in 1071 against the Byzantine army which opened Anatolia to Turkish settlement. The central dome hangs 72 meters (236 feet) above the ground, representing the 72 nations living in the city. The second dome, with a diameter of 34 meters (112 feet) -- Istanbul's official license number. Sixteen names of Allah are inscribed on the inner walls of the dome, symbolizing the number of states founded by Turks throughout history. And a three-piece finial sits on the main dome, weighing 4.5 tons at a height of 7.77 meters (25 feet) it is the largest of its kind in Turkey. Camlica Mosque Complex has indoor parking available for 3,500 vehicles. . . . . . 📸@fatihsultanvanli . . . . . #turkeydays #allshotsturkiye #showmeturkey #goturkey #welcometurkia #turksbazaar #welcome_turkia #turkeyhome_tr #goturkia #turkeylife #турция2020 #turkeytourism #turkeyfollowers #turkeymosque #turkeyholiday #turkeyholidays #holidayinturkey #turquia_turismo #turquiaturismo #turquiamagica #turchia🇹🇷 #maidenstower #maidenstowerandgalatatowerslove #camlicamosque #fullmoonnight (at Kız Kulesi - Maiden's Tower) https://www.instagram.com/p/B71pbZNAgi5/?igshid=xjs35njwfxzz
