One of the most visited museums and most prominent monuments in the world in terms of art and the history of architecture.
Once a cathedral, later a mosque, and now a museum at the Turkish Republic, Hagia Sophia is an important monument for both the Byzantine and the Ottoman Empires. Constructed three times in the same location, the building reflects the religious changes that have played out in the region over the centuries, with the minarets and inscriptions of Islam as well as the lavish mosaics of Christianity. With its breathtaking domes and monolithic marble columns, Hagia Sophia stands as a true wonder in the world’s architecture history.

Love the vibe of this church/mosque turned into museum so much. It feels out of this world somehow.
