Interior
[edit]The interior Mosque Sabil of Sulayman Agha Al-Silahdar tends to be divided into two sections and the sections are divided in a form of a rectangular structure. The mosque is a focal ideal of the Ottoman style architecture which depicts the style of the characteristics of the Muhammad Ali architectural design. [1] The Facade consists of floral designs in which replicates the European Renaissance architecture, and so are the granite structures which consists of oil paintings throughout the interior of the ceilings. The ornamental architecture of the facade of Sabil Sulyiman Agha Al-Silahadar is made of white marble and is embellished with Turkish calligraphy that reflects the ottoman style. In terms of the Sabil, it was formed of marble, which was used to keep the temperature of the water cool. [2]
The outside area of the shattered forum structure is disguised with the shallow arches in the Ottoman Architecture. Just above the entryway of the mosque there is a tiny round balcony. The sacred structure of the roof is supported by various identical marbled walls that construct three columns corresponding to the qibla wall. The Dika is a form of artwork that involves the wooden archways that are above the entryway, interacting with the small spherical rooftop on the outside. The Columns of the interior of the mosque is surrounded by oblong windows that reflects the natural lighting in the inside coming from the courtyard.[3] The inside of the interior of the Dome conisted of the different designs of the flowers in which had the Quranic inscriptions in the inisde.
Exterior
[edit]Throughout the exterior of Sulayman Agha Al-Silahdar's mosque the Sabil, is a charity fountain that was developed to provide free water to walkers seeking to get close to god in Islam. The Sabil was constructed on busy streets and not residential streets for a reason: to provide a huge proportion of the people passing by which provides a better use of the Sabil. The Sabil had an entry on the outside that was different from the mosque's entry. [4] For example, the minaret on the exterior of the Sulayman Agha Al-Silahdar's, "an especially elegant shaft, tall, slender and cylindrical with elongated conical top stands between the madrasa and the mosque. The minaret included just a single balcony with longitudinal carvings. [5]
