	Suleymaniye Mosque
		Suleymaniye Mosque is the masterpiece of Sinan's genius; its aspect of grandeur and the classical proportions of its features are witness to the sure taste which presided at the construction of this unequalled and unsurpassable work.
		Leaving the Suleymaniye by the east, we see the tomb of Suleyman and of his wife Hurrem Sultana (Roxelane) in the middle of the garden.
		But dominating everything are the four minarets of the Suleymaniye, which seem to pierce the sky but at the same time to protect those who sleep their last sleep in the shade of the balconies.
