Sinan set his masterwork on the city's highest hill: the Süleymaniye (1557) — a dome floating effortless above a court reading the whole Golden Horn, Suleiman's and Hurrem's garden tombs, and a serenity Istanbul's knowers agree stands unmatched. Calmer by degrees than the Blue and greater in architecture by connoisseur consensus — never missed; the rear cemetery terrace frames Horn and bridges as Istanbul's noblest; the historic bean eateries in its little market serve the visit's famous traditional lunch.
