The Süleymaniye Mosque in Istanbul contains a complex that includes a public kitchen, a library, public baths, a hospital, and numerous schools.Sultan Suleyman's tomb is also located in the complex. May Allah (SWT) grant him jannah! The public kitchen continues to serve iftar up today. Go and tour the mosque with your family when u save money. its beautiful.
Verses from the Koran are inscribed on the walls in some of the supreme examples of the Turkish art of calligraphy. Over the entrance and on the sides, there are galleries reserved for women. The brass grill partition to the right of the entrance is a masterpiece of 18th century Turkish metalwork. In the rear courtyard there are the tombs of Siileyman and his beloved wife Roxelane, as well as graves of other prominent people. A small and extremely modest grave is located at one corner of the complex. This is the tomb of the great architect Sinan, who lived to be ninety-nine years old and was for 50 years the extremely esteemed and respected chief architect of the empire.
2.'Local workforce contributed to the construction of the bridge including laying the foundation. Ramsay Nicholson is seen here supervising the work during this critical stage of the construction.'
3.'Mt Elgon'
