The History of the Turkish Ottoman Renaissance

Suleiman the Magnificent reigned for 46 years in 1500s. Architect Sinan was a counter-part to Leonardo da Vinj or Michelangelo. Both of these men have a stamp on the Turkish Ottoman Renaissance. As a westerner, I'm just so thrilled to go into mosques but I don't have a very good ability to appreciate fine mosque architecture from just mosque architecture.
