One of the highlights of a city tour is a visit to the Hagia Sophia, an architectural marvel and a testament to the city’s rich history.

In 2020, it was again converted into a mosque by the Turkish government.
The Hagia Sophia is one of the world’s most famous landmarks. The structure’s massive dome and intricate mosaics and frescoes date back to the Byzantine era, and the building’s storied history is visible in every detail.
