Selimiye Mosque, which became the symbol of this city by identifying with Edirne, which was the capital of the Ottoman State beforeistanbul, is the work of Mimar Sinan, one of the greatest and genius architects of the world. Mimar Sinan, who lived in the years when the power of the Ottoman Empire was at the peak, was a genius who shaped this power with architecture, and it can be said that he reflected the might of the empire with the Selimiye Mosque and formed the peak point of the Ottoman architecture. In fact, it would not be an exaggeration to define the mosque as one of the most favorite works of the world architecture history, not only the Ottoman. The fact that the Selimiye Mosque and Complex is included in the UNESCO World Heritage List is proof that this fact is accepted worldwide.
