@jenniferbroometravel: One of my favorite places in Istanbul is the Hagia Sophia. Originally built (532-537AD) as a basilica for the Greek Orthodox Christian Church during Byzantine Empire, it was renovated into a mosque by the Ottomans in 1453. I especially love the stunning mosaics. @Go Türkiye #hagiasophia #istanbul #goturkiye #turkiye #mosque #basilica #travel #church #peaceful #history #byzantine #ottoman #mosaic
