Long queues for tickets and entrance. The cost is very high, but it's definitely worth it.

Hagia Sophia Mosque. One of the largest in Istanbul. Since 23, the entrance has become free. The world-famous monument of Byzantine architecture, Inside you need to take off your shoes, leave them in a cell. Very impressive and breathtaking being in it. You can take a booklet in Russian.

I will not retell Wikipedia, but just share my thoughts. The cathedral has great value for Christians, for Muslims, for history, for literature, culture, for UNESCO, and so on. Because it is a masterpiece of architecture and a great human value. And if you are not interested in it🤔Then you can take amazing photos and videos there.

I stood in line at the ticket office for an hour (ticket 25 EUR). Then it takes another 20 minutes to enter. As a result, they launch only to the 2nd floor. They wanted to visit the graves (Sultan Murad 3rd, Sultan Selim 2nd, 19 princes...), but in the end they won't let them go anywhere. Everything is closed.

A huge beautiful temple, from where the history of the Orthodoxy of Russia began.
Unfortunately, the ancient Christian frescoes are almost all destroyed or closed.

It is a pity that a mediocre mosque was made of the legendary Orthodox shrine, having stripped off the drawings and bas-relief and covered the saints with black wooden shields with Arabic lettering. Some kind of vandalism.

A beautiful Byzantine Cathedral, there are no words, but sadness when you get inside, it is unclear how the museum , which is under the protection of UNESCO, can be transformed in such a way. In short, now it is a functioning mosque, everything that is visible and resembles Byzantium is covered, closed, etc., there are no words. Note that this is the second quarter of the 21st century !

A place with amazing energy! There is always some kind of lightness and something that can probably be described by the word "spirituality". Just wander on soft carpets or sit in a secluded corner by the century-old columns ... amazing sensations!
In order not to stand in queues, it is best to come after 18-19 hours (in November), we passed quietly, and there were not very many people inside.
Admission is free, it works around the clock (I repeat, the information is relevant on November 8, 22).

The greatest temple! He needs to be seen. Tickets are 1200 each and now they are allowed only on the balcony. The main entrance is now only for Turkish citizens, tourists go only to the gallery. Of course, there are a lot of mosaics, but it used to be more soulful downstairs.

Hagia Sophia is a Christian shrine, a Christian church in which Christians have been praying for more than 1400 years, that is, this place is prayed by Christians! That says a lot! And to turn a Christian cathedral into a mosque, I think, is not respect not only for Christians, but also for Muslims... I treat all religions and all believers with respect, but I want Turkish Muslims to treat Christians with respect as well. I have no doubt that there are large and beautiful mosques in Turkey. Pray in your temples, mark your holy places, it will be more beneficial for both the soul and the person!
