During the record attempt, 600 kg of liver was fried in the pan using approximately 1800-2520 liters of sunflower oil. The fried liver was then distributed to the public. The monument is now a symbol of the city and a popular attraction for both locals and tourists who want to discover Edirne's unique culinary tradition.

The "Dünyanın en büyük tavası" (The World's Largest Frying Pan) monument is an impressive tribute to one of Edirne's most famous specialties: "tava ciğeri" (fried livers). Located on Karaağaç Road in Edirne, this monument was erected in 2018 as part of the International Edirne Liver and Frying Pan Festival to set a Guinness World Record.

Dimensions: The frying pan weighs 2 tons, has a diameter of 704 cm, and is 80 cm high.

Masterpiece: The Selimiye Mosque, Edirne. According to Sinan himself, this was his absolute masterpiece. At the age of 80, he designed the mosque with the goal of creating the perfect dome to surpass that of the Hagia Sophia. The mosque's interior is open and spacious, without the large, visible supporting columns required in the Hagia Sophia. The mosque, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is considered the pinnacle of Ottoman architecture. The influence of Mimar Sinan cannot be overstated. He refined the Ottoman architectural style and created a synthesis of tradition and innovation. Many of his buildings have stood the test of time and are preserved in part due to his profound knowledge of civil engineering, including earthquake-resistant construction. His legacy is still visible in the skylines of Turkey and other former Ottoman territories.

Major Works ​Mimar Sinan's architectural legacy is immense and is often divided into three phases: ​Apprenticeship: The Şehzade Mosque, Istanbul. Sinan considered this mosque, built in memory of the deceased son of Suleyman the Magnificent, his "apprenticeship." Although it was one of his first major projects, it already demonstrates his talent with a perfectly symmetrical floor plan and a large central dome supported by four semi-domes. ​Masterpiece: The Süleymaniye Mosque, Istanbul. This complex, situated on one of Istanbul's seven hills, is one of his most famous buildings. Sinan considered it his "masterpiece." He designed not only the mosque itself but also the surrounding complex (külliye) with schools, a hospital, a library, and bathhouses. The mosque is known for its harmonious proportions and acoustics so perfect that a whisper inside the mosque can be heard even in the furthest corners.

Born into a Christian family in Anatolia, Sinan was recruited at a young age for the Janissary Corps through the devşirme system. He began his career as a military engineer, quickly rising through the ranks. His experience building bridges and forts during military campaigns throughout the empire, including Baghdad and Egypt, gave him a unique practical knowledge of construction and engineering. In 1538, he was appointed chief architect of the court, a position he held until his death.

Mimar Sinan, officially Koca Mimar Sinan Ağa (c. 1490–1588), is considered the greatest architect of the Ottoman Empire's classical period. He served as chief architect for three sultans: Suleiman I, Selim II, and Murat III. During his nearly 50-year career, he was responsible for the construction of more than 300 buildings, ranging from mosques and bridges to aqueducts and schools.
