Hagia Sophia






The Hagia Sophia is now a museum but was orginally a Christian Church, then renovated to a Mosque. When it got transformed all the Christian mosaics and sybols got whitewashed, so it's great that they were able to be restored. It is a disconcerting mix of Christian and Islamic symbols inside.
Yeah, sorry, rotating images is still too hard a concept for me to grasp, just tilt you neck a bit and you'll get the picture.
