Flashback of Turkey 2014
Inside Hagia Sophia |
Another travel moment..yuuuph its my flashback
in May 2014. There are so many beautiful places that I found in Turkey, its
unexpected and so amazing. First places that I visit is the famous Hagia
Sophia. Which is historical place for both Muslims and christians. Hagia
Sophia began as a church, later becoming a mosque, and today served as a
museum . Hagia Sophia was converted in to museum in 1935 by the first
President of Turkey Mustafa Kemal Ataturk. Sophia means Wisdom in
Greek Language. When we translate the full name of Hagia Sophia to English it
is Shrine of The Holy of God. Hagia Sophia has stood for more than 1500
years and has housed 2 religions.
Hagia Sophia location is near the Sultan Ahmet
mosque (blue mosque) and Topkapi palace. Once you come to Sultan Ahmet main
square you can do walking tour start from Blue Mosques, and then Topkapi Palace
and the last one is Hagia Sophia. Its one stop landmark of Istanbul.
