    Watch the BBC first on iPlayer 👉 bbc.in/iPlayer-Home Explore the Hagia Sophia. Built by the Romans 1,500 years ago, it was the biggest church in the world.
    No expense was spared: coloured marble from around the Roman Empire and nearly 10,000 square meters of gold mosaic. In 1453, the Hagia Sophia was turned into a mosque after Ottoman Turks conquered the city.
    Now a museum, it has survived earthquakes, sieges and the rise and fall of empires.
    Yet Hagia Sophia still stands, the ancient jewel in the crown of Istanbul.

Then the Turkish government freaked out and lift the blocade of the Bosphorus. You perfectly know that in the case of a war istanbul (And particularly the European side) is not defendable. That´s why Ataturk, which was quite clever, decided to move the capital to Ankara (more defendable and interior but less glorious).

    Every country has a dark page in its history. But in the 21st century only a massively insecure Turkey seems to take pride in the violent conquests of the past and the forced appropriation of the world's most important place of worship at the time. I feel sad, partly for Aghia Sophia but also for the destruction of Ataturk's ambition for Turkey to be a great nation. Instead, Turkey, in one moment of foolishness, has lost its place amongst the civilised people of the world and chose to go back in time to the 15th Century. To all those who scream about Turkey's rights to do as it pleases within its borders: Yes, of course you are right, no one denies that Aghia Sophia belongs to Turkey, no one denies that you have an absolute right to do as you like with it. If the Vatican chose to paint over the Sistine Chapel, they too would have the right to do so. But just like you have rights to do as you see fit, so does the rest of the world have the right to judge you by how you use, or abuse, those rights and place you at the same level of civilisation with Mehmed the Conqueror, whom you so admire and whom your President tries to emulate.

      no matter what Turkey did, minds of so called civilized people never changed towards them. That's where the problem lies, civilized nations are only civilized in talks. If Aghia Sophia still exists today, it's because of Turks taking care off it.

    Hagia Sophia Was built by the Eastern Roman Empire that was Predominately Greek spoken, and the religion was Greek Christian Orthodox, as opposed to the Western Roman Empire which was Roman Catholic, and spoke Latin. Just to put things in perspective. The two empires had very little in common, as the Western part was in partial decline, while the East soared. In actual fact one could say that they didn't appreciate each other very much. One more thing to note is that the capital of the Western part was Rome, While the East's capital was Constantinople, where Hagia Sophia was is situated.

    There have been many legends, true or false, about Hagia Sophia. All from
    the cosmic situation of its location to internal details are based on legends.
    The perspiring column, the healing well, one of the doors made from Noah’s
    ark, the symbol of ‘Holy Grail’, and Hermes symbols are only some part of
    the legends. Nevertheless, none of the legends are as great as Hagia Sophia.
    Indeed, it is the legend itself.
    The moment Mehmet The Conqueror entered the city, he unwillingly showed
    his personality. Deeply influenced by the city’s glory, he immediately asked
    Rum and Frank bishops to learn the founders’ emperors of the city as well
    as the timeline. In the meantime, he made scholars to translate the books in
    Hagia Sophia to Turkish. At the end of the middle ages, Sultan was interested
    in ancient philosophy, but what is he looking for?
    Being the first public church in the Christian Roman Empire as well as the
    first main chapel in the Christian world, Hagia Sophia has been evoking
    admiration since then. The book tells the unique journey of Hagia Sophia.

      No, it wasn't Byzantine was Byzantine, not Rome. As a whole Byzantine stemmed to create the Greek identity so if you were to say that Byzantine is more of one currently existing civilization you would have to say Greek. Don't forget Byzantine used Greek as its national language right up to the end of the empire. Agia Sophia is Greek for Saint Sophia. The Empire created the Easter Orthodox church, the church which is primarily made up of greeks to this day. Its capital was Constantinople now modern-day Istanbul, the capital which much of Greece still refer to as their traditional and rightful capital and the Greek church still states is their capital. Byzanity architecture and painting is also a staple in Greece. All these things Romewhich is now modern day Italy doesnt not have. So if you were to argue what nationality Byzantine was it was much greek then anything hun.

Plus its their country, they have all the right to convert it into a mosque or keep it as it is. Mecca is something else lets not mix emotions with what one can do and what they cant do, and besides, the other churches & synagogs are still left and not taken down unlike other countries that demolish mosques just because. If that happens I’d understand your mourn, but regarding Hagia Sophia, its their right to do with it however they see fit because its within their capacity of ruling land.
