That was stunning! I absolutely enjoyed the architecture of this mosque! It was worthy the journey to reach there! I felt such a great peace there! I believe you should try and reach this place if you happen to be on the Anatolian/Asian side of Túrkyie! It ia definitely a must for that! I thank God for reaching this…
