Edirne - The Üç Serefeli Mosque
Made by Traces in the Sand
The Üç Serefeli Mosque, named after its unusual minaret with three balconies (serefe), was built between 1437 and 1447 (841-851 A.H.) by Murad II. Damaged in the 1752 earthquake, the mosque was repaired in 1763 by order of Mahmud III. A major restoration took place in 1930, with additional work on frescoes in 1999. The Koranic School (mekteb) and the soup kitchen (imaret) of the larger complex no longer exist while the madrasa (medrese) -called Saatli or Timekeeper's- and the dar'ül hadis have survived in heavily restored condition. The mosque is composed of an oblong prayer hall preceded by an open court. Accessed through portals to the northwest, northeast and southwest, and the court is surrounded by an arcade on three sides with the mosque portico on the fourth. An ablution fountain occupies the center of the court, slightly north of the transverse axis defined by the portals. The portico, raised to the height of the prayer hall, allows the visual reading, on the exterior, of a larger prayer hall than court while the former covers approximately two thirds the area of the latter. The northeast bay of the portico, covered with a trough vault, illustrates the original structure of the portico roof that was rebuilt with domes following collapse in the 1752 earthquake. Entering the prayer hall through the central doorway, we walk under a dome measuring 24 meters in diameter. It rests on heavy arches that fall onto four piers embedded in the exterior walls and two large hexagonal piers at the center, left and right. The transition to dome occurs with a thin belt of triangles that merge with decorative consoles in between arches, with dome buttressed providing additional support on the exterior. Twelve windows pierced into the drum illuminate the area under dome, which houses the mihrab on axis with the doorway. The mihrab area is decorated with painted patterns of interlocking wheels and stars and the windowpanes reflect the wood carving of the period. Beyond the two hexagonal piers, the prayer hall extends on either side with rectangular spaces accessed privately through doors from the court and -on the southwest side- from the street. They are roofed with two domes each. The triangular poché between the hexagonal drum of the central dome and the twin domes of the side bays are crossed with small tripartite vaults ornamented with stalactites on the inside and crowned with turrets on the outside. All domes are covered with lead on the exterior. The mosque has four minarets of different heights located at the four corners of the open court. The tallest, on the southern corner, is 67 meters in height and is decorated with a zigzag pattern in red and white stone. It is an early example of the use of separate staircases to access the different balconies. Its upper shaft and three balconies, like those of the other minarets, were rebuilt in a less ornate fashion than the original muqarnas work after having collapsed in the 1752 earthquake. The west, north and east minarets are designed, respectively, with spiral (burmali or yivli), fluted and diamond patterns and have single balconies except for the northwest minaret with two balconies. The structure is built of limestone with marble used for columns, capitals, mihrab, minber, window frames and the seven portals . Red stone is used to frame entryways and -in alteration with white stone- on the voussoirs of the courtyard and portal arches. The courtyard is further adorned with frescoes inside gallery domes, original designs that were repaired in the 18th century as well as baroque additions. Sources: Ayverdi, Ekrem Hakki. 1972.

Edirne - The Selimiye Mosque - Tripping the light fantastic
Made by Traces in the Sand
Sinan's greatest work! To create a dome, larger even than the Hagia Sofia, that quite literally floats on light!! The Selimiye Mosque (Turkish: Selimiye Camii) is a mosque in the city of Edirne, Turkey. The mosque was commissioned by Sultan Selim II and was built by architect Mimar Sinan between 1568 and 1574. It was considered by Sinan to be his masterpiece and is one of the highest achievements of Islamic architecture. This grand mosque stands at the center of a külliye (complex of a hospital, school, library and/or baths around a mosque) which comprises a medrese (Islamic academy teaches both Islamic and Scientific lessons), a dar-ül hadis (Al-Hadith school), a timekeeper's room and an arasta (row of shops). It also contains a Bayezid II Külliye Health Museum, now a museum. In this mosque Sinan employed an octagonal supporting system that is created through eight pillars incised in a square shell of walls. The four semi domes at the corners of the square behind the arches that spring from the pillars, are intermediary sections between the huge encompassing dome (31.25m diameter with spherical profile) and the walls. InteriorWhile conventional mosques were limited by a segmented interior, Sinan's effort at Edirne was a structure that made it possible to see the mihrab from any location within the mosque. Surrounded by the four tallest minarets in the Muslim world, the Mosque of Selim II has a grand dome atop it. Around the rest of the mosque were many additions: libraries, schools, hospices, baths, soup kitchens for the poor, markets, hospitals, and a cemetery. These annexes were aligned axially and grouped, if possible. In front of the mosque sits a rectangular court with an area equal to that of the mosque. The innovation however, comes not in the size of the building, but from the organization of its interior. The mihrab is pushed back into an apse-like alcove with a space with enough depth to allow for window illumination from three sides. This has the effect of making the tile panels of its lower walls sparkle with natural light. The amalgamation of the main hall forms a fused octagon with the dome-covered square. Formed by eight massive dome supports, the octagon, is pierced by four half dome covered corners of the square. The beauty resulting from the conformity of geometric shapes engulfed in each other was the culmination of Sinan's life long search for a unified interior space. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selimiye_Mosque

Edirne - Sultan Bayezid II Külliye
Made by Traces in the Sand
Detail of the chimneys and domes of the Sultan Bayezid II Külliye A külliye is an Ottoman architectural concept that designates a complex of buildings centered around a mosque and Bayezid II Külliye was built in 1488 by the Ottoman sultan Bayezid II. The complex contains a darüşşifa (hospital, medical center) and it remained in operation for four hundred years as of 1488 until the Russo-Turkish War (1877-1878). The hospital was especially notable for its treatment methods for mental illnesses which included the use of music, water sound and scents. The historic darüşşifa was incorporated into the structure of Trakya University, also based in Edirne, in 1993 and converted into a Health Museum, a museum dedicated to the history of medicine and health matters in general, in 1997. It is constantly being developped since. To date, it is Turkey's only museum in its field and provides varied and valuable information to visitors on the development of medical sciences and of medical services throughout history, especially Ottoman history. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bayezid_II_Külliye_Health_Museum www.trakya.edu.tr/kulliye_ing/general_info.html
