According to the passage, it was with the Selimiye Mosque that Sinan ----.
Chief imperial architect Sinan was in his eighties
when he built the Selimiye, which marks the zenith of
his lifelong endeavour to perfect the domed building.
The Suleymaniye Mosque had taken him nearly to
the zenith of his creative power, but Selimiye was the
crown of his genius. The mosque was built to
commemorate the conquest of Cyprus, perhaps
Selim ll's sole military achievement. Either because
no hilltop remained in Istanbul worthy of such a
monument or perhaps as a gesture of loyalty to a city
where Selim had spent nine years of his life, it was
decided that the mosque should be built in Edirne.
The chosen site was the hill of Sanbayir overlooking
the city, and the acquisition of land commenced. In
those years horticulture was one of the main sources
of income in Edirne, and Sanbayir was covered with
flower nurseries growing principally tulips. The story
goes that a woman who owned a small tulip garden
here objected to selling her land, and resisted official
pressure for a considerable time. Finally, they took
her to see Sinan, hoping the architect could persuade
her. She agreed, but on one condition, that in some
part of the mosque there should be a sign that there
had once been a tulip garden. Sinan kept his word
and had an inverted tulip motif carved on one of the
marble pillars at the eastern corner of the muezzin's
gallery in the centre of the mosque.
