The Selimiye Mosque in Edirne is one of the most important works of Ottoman architecture, designed by the renowned architect Mimar Sinan at the behest of Sultan Selim II. Construction of the mosque took place between 1568 and 1574. Sinan, who began the project at the age of 80, called the mosque his "masterpiece," culminating his lifelong quest for architectural perfection and optimal proportions.

The architecture of the Selimiye Mosque is considered a pinnacle of classical Ottoman style. Some notable features include:
The dome: Sinan's most significant architectural achievement was the enormous central dome, with a diameter of 31.28 meters and a height of 43.28 meters. Slightly larger than that of the famous Hagia Sophia, this dome rests on eight massive pillars connected to the walls. This creates an open and spacious prayer hall in which the mihrab (prayer niche) is visible from every angle.
The minarets: The mosque has four slender minarets, each 71 meters high, situated at the corners of the building. They are considered the tallest and most slender minarets in Ottoman history.

UNESCO World Heritage Site

For its historical and architectural significance, the Selimiye Mosque, along with its social complex (külliye), was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2011. The complex, including the mosque, a madrassa, a children's library, and other buildings, is considered one of the most harmonious examples of an Ottoman külliye.

The Selimiye Mosque is a symbol of Ottoman architectural genius and remains one of the most impressive religious buildings in the world.
