Hagia Sophia

This is one of my favourite places in Istanbul because of it's extraordinary historical situation.It was the largest cathedral ever built in the world for nearly a thousand year.It was originally constructed as patriarchal basilica, then it changed in to a mosque now it's a museum in Sultanahmet area,Istanbul.It was an impressive mosque.Hagia Sophia is one of the great example of ancient architecture.Hagia Sophia was ornated with nice examples of Byzantine architecture.Hagia Sophia is a magnificent mosque and it's build with traditional style.Hagia Sophia was converted to the Ayasofya mosque as the symbol of the conquest.Hagia Sophia physically maintain very well.Hagia Sophia was restored and look original.It's important not to give damage to Hagia Sophia.It's a great embodiment of classical Byzantine architecture.Hagia Sophia gives very important role for Istanbul.Even Istanbul changes by the time Hagia Sophia remains as itself.
