Description
Free Photo | Hagia Sophia (Ayasofya)
Commissioned by Byzantine Emperor Justinian I and constructed in the 6th century (532 – 537 AD), Hagia Sophia is generally considered to be one of the most important existing examples of Byzantine architecture. Consecrated as a church in 537, converted to a mosque by Mehmet the Conqueror in 1453 and declared a museum by Ataturk in 1935, Hagia Sophia received designation as a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1985.

Made in Istanbul, Turkey
Alphonse de Lamartine wrote, “If one had but a single glance to give the world, one should gaze on Istanbul.” Istanbul, once known as Constantinople, is the only city in the world to straddle two continents: Europe and Asia. Over the last 2000 years, it has also been the capital of three empires: Roman, Byzantine, and Ottoman. Divided by the Bosphorus Strait, today Istanbul is home to over 15 million residents. Istanbul is a study of contrast: ancient and modern; conservative and progressive; chaotic and relaxed. With a rich history and warm culture, it is one of the most inspiring cities in the world.
