Atik Sinan

d. 1471/876 AH
Türkiye
We have very little information about the life of the architect known in the Ottoman sources as Atik Sinan (Sinan the Elder). He is known as the architect of the Fatih Complex in Istanbul, one of the pinnacles of Ottoman architecture and the premier example of a harmoniously planned imperial complex.
