At the meeting point in the square, you can see Beyazit Mosque from the beginning of 16th century, and the opposite side of it, there is main gate of Istanbul University which was originally built as a temporary palace by Sultan Mehmed II, it was the first palace that was built by ottomans after taking over constantinople. The Suleymaniye Mosque bears great historic value for many reasons. First, because it was built by the most talented Ottoman architect to have ever lived. Second reason is because there are certain very important figures' graveyards. Who is buried in the Suleymaniye Mosque, you ask? Well, the tombs of Suleyman the Magnificent and his wife Hurrem Sultan (formerly known as Roxelana) are located on the grounds of the mosque. The mosque was built to be a testament of Suleyman I's accomplishments during the right. For instance, the four minarets of the mosque serve to signify the fact that Suleyman I was the fourth sultan to rule over the Ottoman Empire, once he became an empire.
