Time to Dismount
I've been told that the chains
looped across the upper part
of the doorway are just for that:
preventing anyone on horseback from
entering the grounds of the mosque:
Dismount here, please.
You wouldn't want to ride toward Istanbul's Blue
Mosque (Mosque of Sultan
Ahmet I) in any case, because
the architect designed it to
be most beautiful when approached on
foot.
You'll see what I mean when
you travel to Turkey, but in
the meantime, take a look at
my pictures showing The
Magic of the Blue Mosque. |
