The Heritage of the Byzantine Empire or the Hagia Sophia Architecture
There is a big ship in Istanbul. Time boat - so I call the most beautiful structure of Hagia Sophia. Ride to the ship, you are carried away time.
Here you get lost in space and the everyday reality disappears. An impression made that your soul inside the cathedral is crushed and flying. Fly through time. This is an unforgettable feeling. Aya-Sofia bewitches with her magical secret and architectural group.
On weekends, even with a museum card, someone has to queue up. 20 minutes our pokolkalis at the entrance. I get the impression that only Russians and Chinese are tourists in Istanbul. The Chinese are a bunch of ... Turkish translators are perfectly speaking and Chinese. It's not unusual to see this.
If you stand facing the cathedral, then turn right with the map of the museum, on the left - that does not have it. Tickets now cost 40 Turkish lira, almost 10 dollars.
Do not forget to take a long walk into the cathedral courtyard. There are columns and their old reliefs. The pattern is amazing! It is very encouraging that Turkey has worked hard to restore cultural monuments for three years. Recovery also occurred in the Hagia Sophia region. Inside the building, the left side is blocked, but this does not prevent you from enjoying the beauty of history.
