A little more perspective
Columbia University’s Istanbul Documentation Project record lists minaret height at 64 meters and dome height at 43 meters. The complete exterior comparison follows the minaret tips rather than assigning the dome’s interior-height number to the whole silhouette.
The mosque’s six minarets and cascading domes belong to the same bounded building view. The courtyard is excluded. Details of the lateral layout remain interpretive, while the declared vertical anchor stays at the tallest minaret tip.
