Hagia Sophia(Can be visited as a mosque since 2019)

One of the greatest marvels of architecture, Hagia Sophia was founded as a basilica in the 6th century.

Built by the order of Byzantine Emperor Justinianus, St.Sophia was the largest cathedral in the world for nearly a thousand years; it is considered the masterpiece of Byzantine architecture.

After being considered the Patriarchal Basilica of Constantinople, it was converted into a mosque in 1453 by Sultan Mehmed II, The Conqueror, which led to adding the minarets, tombs and fountains.

In 1935 it was turned into a museum by Ataturk, and in 2019 it was turned into a mosque again.

Blue Mosque( Closed on Friday Mornings because of Friday Pray )

Facing Hagia Sophia, famous for its blue Iznik tiles and its unique six minarets, the Blue Mosque was built in the name of Sultan Ahmet. This is the last great imperial mosque of the classical period.

The name for which is commonly now known, “Blue Mosque”, comes from the 20.000 marvellous blue-toned Iznik tiles decorating the interior walls.
