Istanbul: Hagia Sophia and Blue Mosque
Hagia Sophia
In Turkish : Ayasofya was built in 537 as a Ortodox Greec Christians Church.
Later in 1453 when Sultan of Ottoman Empire Mehmed II bursted in Konstantinopol (Istanbul ) he had turned it into a mosque .
And in 1935 Atatürk , the famouse political líder and reformator of Turkey in 20 century , turned the church-mosque into a musium.
The building is a famouse with its luxury marvellously mosaics..
But in general, this church-mosque produces a rather strange impression, quotations from the Koran in Arabic on the background of Jesus Christ and the Holy Virgin Mary .. I think the decision to leave it as a museum and to stop any religion services was a very wise decision by Ataturk.
Sultanahmet Camii in Turkish or Blue Mosque because of marble which was used for building of the mosque . The mosque was built in 1609 and till now stay the main and the biggest mosque of Istanbul .
Unfortunately , the mosque was closed for visitors for reformations , so we can enter only in interior courtyard .
All the same style of building and painting of the walls and arches will not leave you in deference .
most beautiful most mosque . nice click. have a nice travel
Thanks friend 🤗💜🙂💛🌺
the mosque is a place of worship for every Muslim, maybe the mosque was closed because there was something bad that is contrary to the Islamic religion.
as in our place aceh one of the provinces that apply Islamic law in Indonesia is also banned for visitors who violate the rules of Islamic religion is the mosque BAITURRAHMAN.
if you've read the history of aceh and Turkey has a very special relationship like a sibling, and that's still true today.
the mosque there is very beautiful and also very big, I really want to be able to visit there and perform prayers in the mosque and want to meet president recep erdogan, but what economic power is not support to fulfill my intent there.
our greetings from aceh to turki society. Thank you brother....!!!
Turkey is very closed to Ukraine . Of course we know more or less history , espatially in common time . The mosque was closed and under pression of international communiti - during more than 1000 years this mosque was one of the main Christian catedral . Till now it is special place for orthodox . I think it was very correct and diplomatic solution to leave mosque only as a museum
