Description

Hagia Sophia is a remarkable monument linking two great civilizations. Originally a Byzantine cathedral dating back to 537, later converted into a mosque, it impresses with its monumental dome with a diameter of 31 meters, which was the largest in the world for almost a thousand years.

The interior is decorated with spectacular mosaics made of more than 30 million gold tesserae and marble columns. The combination of Christian and Islamic elements creates a unique artistic fusion that attracts history and architecture lovers from around the world.

It's a place where you can marvel at the engineering genius of ancient times and feel the spirit of bygone eras.
