Hagia Sophia Grand Mosque is a historic monument located in Istanbul, Turkey. Originally built in 537 AD as an Eastern Orthodox cathedral, it was converted into a mosque in 1453 after the Ottoman Empire conquered Constantinople. In 1935, it was converted into a museum and opened to the public, but in 2020, it was reconverted into a mosque. The building is renowned for its impressive dome, which spans 31 meters in diameter and stands at a height of 56 meters. It is decorated with intricate mosaics and features a mix of Byzantine and Islamic architectural styles. The mosque is one of Istanbul's most popular tourist attractions and remains a significant symbol of Turkey's cultural heritage.
