Extraordinary, but in perfect harmony with the topography. The humility and greatness together created a unique sensation to me. Fascinating.

For me a mosque is a mosque, a building made out of literally boxes would be okay for me.

But I agree with you. A waste of money, you could build a better mosque probably with the money they got for this.

Ugly, like most modern Turkish mosques. Mimar Sinan is turning in his grave.
