Iftar time in Edirne

People congregate in front of the famous and beautiful Selimiye mosque, preparing for the breaking of the fast at sundown. Mimar Sinan, the architect, considered Selimiye to be his masterpiece. The dome spans 31.5 meters, narrowly beating the Hagia Sophia in Istanbul, built nearly 1000 years earlier.
