It is impossible to look at any major building in Turkey that was not either built by or inspired by Mimar Sinan. To me, his masterpiece is still the Selimiye Mosque in Edirne, but I think his his most famous work is the Suleiman Mosque in Istanbul. Before he became an architect he was an archer and a gunner in the army. Being a gunner taught him how to find the weak points in structures so he could gun them down, he said this inspired and helped him later in life to design strong buildings that would be hard to knock down. Considering that Istanbul is built along two fault lines I think his knowledge is what has kept the building standing all these centuries.
