The Hagia Sophia is an ancient structure that was built
between AD532-AD537 as a Greek Orthodox cathedral
in Constantinople, which is present-day Istanbul. It was
converted into a mosque after the city was conquered by
the Ottomans in 1453.
In 1935, this famous Turkish landmark became a museum
and has since been open to visitors from all over the
world. The interior of this historical site is covered in
mosaics that depict the Virgin and Child and other
religious figures.
