Decorated with 20,000 handmade ceramic tiles, this iconic mosque stands on the European side of what city?

Istanbul's historic Blue Mosque is called such due to the 20,000 handmade blue tiles that decorate the mosque's interior. Built during the 17th century under Ahmed I, the Ottoman Empire's Sultan lies in the mosque's tomb. Ahmed I hoped that it would rival the splendor of its Old City neighbor, Hagia Sophia. And it does.
