Suleiman the Magnificent

Suleiman I (1494-1566) better known as Suleiman the Magnificent was the sultan of the Ottoman Empire, reigning from 1520 until his death in 1566. He is named after the biblical King Solomon. Suleiman lived in Istanbul which was formerly the Byzantine city of Constantinople, not too long after Muslims converted it into their holy city. He had a strange dream that he thought was a sign that Allah wanted him to rebuild the gate so he ordered workers to build a new gate and it was decorated with lions to remind Suleiman of his dream. The gate still stands in Istanbul today and Suleiman is famous for establishing magnificent things which is why his people called him Suleiman the Magnificent.
