My window is on Istanbul. I stayed here for four months summer 2007 with the aim of trying to understand the city.
The Fatih Mosque Complex is a large mosque in the Fatih district of Istanbul, Turkey. Built in 1463-1470, on the site of the former Church of the Holy Apostles, which was demolished in favor of it.The original mosque was destroyed by the earthquake of 1766; the current mosque dates from 1767.
Just off the famous Galata bridge in the Eminönü neighboordhoud a big and old market-hall stands in front of you, Istanbul's Egyptian Bazaar. This spice market was built in 1664 and is filled with exotic fragrances such as spices, dried fruits, nuts and seeds, lokum (Turkish Delight).
