Istanbul, Turkey, 16-21 May 2007: Iznik Tiles

Ceramic Jewels

Iznik tiles are used extensively to decorate the walls and ceilings of

mosques and palaces in Ottoman Turkey. The interior of the Rustempasa

Mosque, perched atop a small square block of shop houses in the Spice

Bazaar, is completely covered with exquisite coloured tiles. Other

fine specimens of Iznik tiles are found in the Topkapi Palace and the

sacred Ey�p Mosque, in the Golden Horn.
