Under Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent, the Ottoman Empire reached its zenith. The empire stretched from Hungary to Yemen, from Algeria to Iraq. Suleiman was renowned for his legal reforms (earning the title 'the Lawgiver'), his patronage of the arts, and the construction of magnificent mosques by his architect Sinan.
