Church turned mosque, Aya Sofia is the symbolic building of Istanbul.
After turning the church into a mosque, the may mosaics were plastered over - Islam does not allow images. Some of these mosaics survived. Ad of course - minarets were added. Atatürk realized the importance of this curiosity and turned the mosque into a museum. Entering Aya Sofia, your eyes first have to get used to the darkness, and when they are, you can start exploring the ceilings, the domes, the hidden corners.
