| The large mosque opposite the Blue Mosque is Hagia Sophia. Hagia Sophia is known as a mosque with a unique history; it was originally built as a Christian church. However, with the start of Ottoman rule, it was converted into an Islamic mosque. Since then, it has undergone several restorations, and even today, it remains a unique mosque, retaining a strong Christian influence despite being a mosque. Visitors can enter the mosque's interior, where you'll find frescoes characteristic of Christian churches, making it a Christian church as well. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, Hagia Sophia, like the Blue Mosque, is a must-see spot for Istanbul tourists, attracting many visitors from around the world. |
