Church turned mosque, Aya Sofia is the symbolic building of Istanbul.
Besides being the business centre of modern Turkey and one of the very few cities in two continents, Istanbul also owes its fame under its previous name Constantinople. Constantinople was the last stronghold of the Roman empire and the capital of Christianity. The Aya Sofia was built in the 6th century to be the grandest church in the world. When the Ottoman Turks conquered the city in 1453, the Aya Sofia was converted into a mosque.
