Temecula Valley Book Club discussion

Curious now more than ever about the Ottoman Empire after this novel. Most specially the Mimar Sinan. Quite the impressive 99 years lived: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mimar... A few credits of his accomplishments are as follows:

94 large mosques
57 colleges
52 smaller mosques
48 bath-houses
35 palaces
22 mausoleums
20 caravanserai
17 public kitchens
8 bridges
8 store houses or granaries
7 Koranic schools
6 aqueducts
3 hospitals

Very impressive - thanks for sharing!
