Description


The most famous building in Istanbul. Originally an Eastern Orthodox basilica the church was converted into a mosque under the Ottoman empire. After the creation of the Turkish Republic the mosque was converted into a museum, but in 2020 the museum was closed down and the building returned to being a mosque.
