Edirne mosques
Edirne was the second capital city of the Ottoman Empire after Bursa and before Istanbul. There are a lot of mosques, and I saw three of them: the Selimiye, Eski Cami, and Uc Serefeli. It is true what they say about the Selimiye being the most elegant building in the country. It is stunning. I went in time to the noon ezan, when a large group of imams and their wives arrived for a special service. Just before they arrived, one woman was sitting in meditation.
