Both were designed by the architect Sinan in 1566. Hürrem died on April 18, 1558. She is buried in a domed mausoleum (türbe) decorated in exquisite Iznik tiles depicting the garden of paradise. Her mausoleum is adjacent to Süleyman's, a separate and more somber domed structure. Source: Wikipedia; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page (accessed 1/6/2008) | en_US |
