His Tomb is İstanbul’s most important Islamic shrine. The old trees, pigeons, praying believers and the visiting crowd create a mystical and colorful atmosphere around the mosque.

MINIATURK
The park contains 122 models done in 1/25th scale. 58 of the structures are from Istanbul, 52 are from Anatolia, and 12 are from the Ottoman territories that today lie outside of Turkey.
