There is also Ayios Strati Orthodox Church in the district. Balat is the address for photography enthusiasts. As you wander through its historical streets, you will be amazed by the colorful houses and boutique cafes. Pierre Loti Hill took its name from the French novelist and orientalist Julien Viaud, who came to Istanbul in 1876 and settled here, and was known for frequently visiting a coffee house on this hill. The hill and the tea garden of the same name located here are frequently visited by tourists coming to Istanbul. Experience shopping in the Spice and mahmutpasa bazaars, which has been the center of shopping for centuries. Suleymaniye Mosque is a mosque built by Mimar Sinan in Istanbul between 1551 and 1557 in the name of Suleiman the Magnificent. Suleymaniye Mosque, described as the work of Mimar Sinan’s journeyman period, was built as a part of the Suleymaniye Social Complex, consisting of madrasas, library, hospital, primary school, bath, soup kitchen, cemetery and shops.
Suleymani Mosque is one important examples of classical Ottoman architecture. Although there have been more than a hundred earthquakes in Istanbul since the day the mosque was built, there have been no cracks in the walls of the mosque.
