Ayia Sofia (Αγία Σοφία) with full name: "Ναός της Αγίας του Θεού Σοφίας" - "Church of God's Holly Wisdom". One of the greatest and magnificently beautiful architectural buildings ever build by men!!! Of course there was not only the magnificent architecture but also the unique interior. Marble floors and Columns, interior design and the unique Mosaics all over the walls, floors and ceilings of this Greek Byzantine Orthodox Christian church!!!
Ευχαριστώ, εγώ σχολείο μου στην ιστορία τώρα που πάω Πέμπτη Δημοτικού κάνω την βυζαντινή Ιστορία Thanks,in my school on history now that iam on the 5th grade class I'm learning the byzantine History
Hagia Sophia is the unique place in the world that when you enter look on top of the altar you can see the picture of the Jesus, Virgen marry together with the name of Allah and Muhammed. There are many Mosques in history was turned into a church or many church was turned into a Mosque but Hagia Sophia was kept as a museum since 1935 by Turkish Republic and still it is a museum today.
+Christopher Kelley its already a mosque they converted it to mosque 500 years ago. Cause its has a Dome like every chruch from Byzantine times with domes are now mosques, and Dome mean heaven in Christianity and in Islam
If a building does not serve the purpose it was built for (in this case to serve as a church) you may as well bulldoze it and put a park in it's place. It should (in my opinion) be restored and then reverted back to a church with tours for those interested in it's historical value.

If Turks didn't conquer Istanbul Hagia Sophia wouldn't still stand. Change your viewpoint please.
@@hurriyetperver5272it would be better for Hagia Sophia to not exist than for the work of our ancestors to be used by the Turks as a satanic temple
Converting this into a mosque would provoke tremendous anger in the entire Orthodox world. This is like their St. Peter's.
