Hagia Sofia

Today we visited one of the most amazing buildings in the world. Not only is it huge (you could fit the Eiffel Tower into it) but at one time it was the most important Christian church in the world, and at another, the most important muslim mosque. It is over 1500 years old and is filled with Christian symbolism as well as muslim symbolism. I'll be posting more pics over time of this amazing building.
