Very nice and beautifully decorated tomb.
A very unique site, the tomb of sultan Ahmet and his descendants is a quiet, peaceful and beautiful place to visit. You have to cover before entering.
I don't know why this tomb doesn't feature as one of the must-see places in Sultanahmet. It is located right by the blue mosque, and our curiosity led us to to this small and gorgeous final resting places for a lineage of Sultans. There shouldn't be much of a line but a with mosques you have to remove your footwear and cover your head when you enter.
The interiors are incredibly beautiful, and like all other major monuments and mosques in Istanbul this one too is an homage to the architect, the artisans and the patrons.

Sultan Ahmet Tomb is the final resting place of totally 5 sultans. The most famous ones is Sultan Ahmet who built The Blue Mosque. The mausoleum looks somewhat like a mosque and is a monumental building with a domed roof and an arcade-entrance in the form of a three-part portico. It has a square layout, the facades of which are lined with marble. Do mind to dress appropriately as the same rules as visiting mosque apply. Recommended!!!
Sultan Ahmet turbesi is the resting place of the famous Sultan Ahmet (known for the Blue Mosque) and his family. There is a different feeling of seeing the resting place of an Ottoman Emperor.
The final resting place of Sultan Ahmed and his descendants, the site is worthwhile of visiting. The structure and the way the dome is ornamented is plain beautiful. Make sure to dress appropriately as the same rules as visiting mosque apply here. The place is not busy and after a short waiting, helpful gentlemen at the entrance will let you in.
Very beautiful burial place that contains the tombs of Sultan Ahmed, Murad IV and some of their daughters and sons, it’s located in the heart of Sultanahmet square and easily accessible, i highly recommend checking it out.
