Yesterday I got eight postcards including one from Turkey.
The card from Turkey shows a view of Edirne with the Selimiye Mosque. Edirne is a city in western Turkey near the border with Bulgaria and Greece. It is Turkey's westernmost big city. Between 1363 and 1453 was Edirne, then known as Adrianople, the capital of the Ottoman Empire. The Selimiye Mosque was built between 1569 and 1575. It was built by Mimar Sinan, who said it was his masterpiece, and is considered the be one of the most important monuments of Islamic architecture. The Selimiye Mosque with its social complex is since 2011 on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
