نبذة عن الملكة صفية باللغة الإنجليزية

Safiye Sultan was the wife of Ottoman Sultan Murad III and mother of Sultan Mehmed III. It is believed she was of Venetian descent. Her name "Safiye" means "the pure one". She was born about 1550, but her date of death is uncertain between 1605 and 1619. Born as Sofia Baffo,daughter of the Venetian Gouvenor of Corfu.

Biography

She was captured by corsairs and presented to the Ottoman harem sometime in the 1560s, and became chief wife of the Sultan after the death of her stepmother in 1574.

Following the steps of Nur Banu, Safiye Sultan played an important political role during the reigns of both Sultans after this year. She was Valide Sultan between 1583 and 1594, and together with Nur Banu one of the most influential ones; she deserved the status of co-regent, which is sometimes the formal definition of a Valide sultan.

Safiye followed Nur Banu's pro-Venetian policy and corresponded by letter with queen Elizabeth I of England; in 1599, Elizabeth presented Safiye with a carriage, which she actually used after having covered it, to excursions in the town, which was considered quite scandalous.

She is also known of having been (or believed to have been) strongly influenced by her kira, Esperanza Malchi; a kira was an agent employed to handle the economic affairs of the harem women. This was normally a Jewish woman, who as a non-Muslim was allowed to have an active life outside the harem, and Safiye's kira was the Jewess Esperanza Malchi; they were said to have been so close that people believed them to have been lovers, and Esperanza was killed by a lynch mob in 1600.

She is also famous for starting the construction of the Yeni Valide Mosque (New Mosque) in Istanbul in 1598. The Al-Malika Safiyya Mosque (Malika Safiya) in Cairo is named in her honor.

Sultanahmet Camii, Blue mosque

To build a monument opposite the great Hagia Sophia takes courage and that is exactly what the architect Mimar Sedefkar Mehmet Aga, a student of the great Mimar Sinan, must have had. The Blue Mosque built between 1609 and 1616 is one of the most beautiful mosques in the world and the first in the world to be built with six minarets.

It was quite controversial and the mosque had to donate two pillars to the mosque in Mecca. The mosque gets its name from the thousands of blue tiles that adorn the inside of the mosque.

The mosque has beautiful domes, each higher than the previous, and the mosque itself lies within an almost perfect square. The domes however are not bigger than the Hagia Sohpia and this did not please Sultan Mehmet who had ordered the mosque to be built. He is now buried in the mosque. The mosque also had an Arasta bazaar attached to it, and some of the best examples of carpets can be seen here. The mosque is still in use today, and is closed during prayers. This adds to the charm, as hundreds swarm to pray. The timings are clearly mentioned so you can plan your trip well
