You're standing at the Yavuz Selim Mosque, right on top of Istanbul's fifth hill, in the Çukurbostan neighbourhood. Turn around for a moment. Down below you is the Golden Horn. Thanks to its size and this lofty spot, the mosque is one of the familiar shapes on the city's skyline. Notice the twin minarets standing on either side of it.
