Conseils des habitants
Does this need an introduction? Simply used to be one of the greatest and most ambitious churches ever built. Nowadays it is a mosque, but it’s super touristic and you should definitely see it.
It is a basilica-planned patriarchal cathedral built by the Byzantine Emperor Justinian I between 532-537 in the old city center of Istanbul's historical peninsula. It was converted into a mosque by Mehmed.
Hagia Sophia is a domed basilica type building that combines the central plan in terms of architecture and is considered an important turning point in the history of architecture with its dome passage and carrier system features. For Christians, it is a touristic and spiritual center of attraction, as well as being both a symbolic and an axis.
