Sultanahmet Mosque, Istanbul
I was so surprised when I received some more postcards and even fridge magnets from Cuneyt from Turkey. This first postcard shows the Sultanahmet Mosque in Istanbul. It was built between 1609 and 1616. The mosque is popularly known as the Blue Mosque for the blue tiles adorning the walls of its interior. It is still used today and is also a very popular tourist attraction.

Taj Mahal, India
This is my first postcard from India but it wasn't sent by some one from India. It was sent to me via private swap by Anu from the UK. The Taj Mahal is the most extravagant monument ever built for love. It was constructed by the emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his second wife, Mumtaz Mahal, who died in childbirth in 1631.
