The Aya Sofia is one of the most famous mosques in Istanbul, along with the Blue Mosque.
Its history is long, dating back to 360 AD when it was first built. In the beginning, it was a building with a wooden roof, not as it looks today.
Although it was destroyed by fire several times due to warfare, it was rebuilt in 537, which is the prototype of the current Hagia Sophia.

Go to the Blue Mosque, the biggest attraction in Istanbul.
Unfortunately, however, it is under repair.
I did not get to see the beauty of the interior, but it still has its highlights.
I strongly felt that I would like to see the Blue Mosque in its complete form someday.
