Mausoleum of Sultan Selim II

Selim II, also known as Selim the Blond (Turkish: Sarı Selim) or Selim the Drunkard (Sarhoş Selim), was the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire from 1566 until his death in 1574. During his reign, his grand vizier Sokollu Mehmed Pasha held significant control over state governance. The conquest of Cyprus and Tunis were notable achievements during his reign but setbacks occurred in the Battle of Lepanto and the failed capture of Astrakhan as part of the war with Russia.
