The church is one of the marvles of world architecture. Converted into mosque in 1453 then to museum in 1934 and to mosque again in 2021. Its massive dome still dominates the skyline of old Istanbul. It is also famed for its mosaics, including glittering portraits of emperors and empresses and a poignant Virgin and Child. Next we visit the Blue Mosque, which takes its name from the exquisite tiles adorning its interior. Built by Sultan Ahmed in the early 17th century and designed by pupil of Sinan, the greates of Ottoman architects, it is the only imperial mosque with six minerats. Its courtyard is especially grand. The Hippodrome the stadium of anceitn Byzantium, held 100,000 spectators and featured objects from all corners of the empire. Among theses, Egyptian obelisk and a bronze sculpture of three entwined serpents from Delphi survive.
