Hagia Sophia , Istanbul

I liked the things inside there. I got many pictures. I got a city trip from istanbulpockettours com and loved it.

I loved this place. So full of history & culture. For me, it was amazing to see a building that was once a Christian church, then when the Ottoman's took over Istanbul an Islamic mosque & now a museum that shows the history of both religions. The Christian mosaics are not to be missed. Beautiful and elegant are words that come to mind. When I think back on my time in Istanbul, Hagia Sophia is the first image that comes to mind. To me, this building is just awe inspiring. As a quick side note, this building was built in the year 360. This museum is 1000 years older than the Sistine chapel in Rome and I was walking inside of it. Incredible!

I visited it twice in 2005 and 2010 and its visiting is worthy all the times! amazing place to go!

GOOD NEWS; "WORKING FLOOR TO CEILING LADDER" IS REMOVED AND YOU CAN SEE THE MAGNIFICIENT OF THE DOME NOW. Yildirim

I enjoyed watching Ayasofya from the outside , in the morning and late evening . It was a wonderful and fun experience . It was well preserved and maintained . Visitors from all over the world made the surrounding more lively. I do plan to come back again .

oh my god nothing bust best better then any European place

A beautiful monument, a wonder of architecture. The huge dome is suspended, no supporting columns seen. Isn't it a pity to obstruct the interior views with a "working floor to ceiling ladder"? When the tourist guide was asked how long this ladder is in the monument the reply was "I remember it since my grandfather's time! Quite a time for a restoration...Please remove it.

I simply fell in love with it.It has a magical power and it gives you an overwelming feeling.I will strongly recomend it to all history lovers to definately visit it.Ill take my kids to see this wonder .

It was one of the most strange places I've ever been because of combine Christian and Islamic religion symbols in one place. It's really worth to visit.

we have visited st. sophia before a month and it was really enjoyable. we have read about it too much before our travel to istanbul but we have seen that it was nothing since we had it with a professional guide and he told us every corner and every detail mucher than we expected. Finally we highly recommend to visit St. Sophia especially with a professional guide. privateguidance@gmail.com just to have an option.
