The Blue Mosque or the Sultan Ahmed Mosque (in Turkish, Sultanahmet Camii) is a mosque in Istanbul built by Sultan Ahmed I in 1609 and completed in 1616, one year before the Sultan's death. Today, it is the main mosque in Istanbul, as Hagia Sophia has been converted into a museum. The name "Blue Mosque" comes from its blue-tiled dome and the original blue interior. The mosque has six minarets and is located opposite Hagia Sophia, near the Hippodrome.
