Subdude Posted September 26, 2004 Share Posted September 26, 2004 Thanks! That is on my list of places to see. Everyone says it's great. If you want a small taste, the Turkish Festival is going on this weekend at Jones Plaza. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sfatih Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 You mean the mosque that was once a cathedral? Yup. That's a winner. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It is actually not a mosque right now, a museum instead. Hagia Sophia was built in th 6th century by Byzantium as a cathedral, and it was converted into a mosque by the Ottomans after overtaking Istanbul. When the Turkish Republic was founded in the 20th century, Hagia Sophia started to serve as a museum. Just a side note Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
