More information about Istanbul's historic sites:

The places of interest that best illustrate Istanbul as the intersection of eastern and western cultures and arts are Hagia Sophia, Sultan Ahmed Mosque (Blue Mosque) and Topca Boer Palace.

Hagia Sophia is a Christian church during the Roman Empire. It is a magnificent rectangular stone building with a huge dome with a diameter of 3 1 m and a height of 55 meters above the ground. There are 40 large glass windows and 4 magnificent arches around the bottom, which is a typical Byzantine building.

1453, after the demise of Byzantine Empire, the Turks who believed in Islam built four minarets outside the church and changed this Millennium Cathedral into a mosque. 1935, after the establishment of Turkey, it was turned into a museum.

Sultan Ahmed Mosque was built in 16 16. Different from other mosques, it has six minarets. It is the only existing six-pagoda mosque in the world.

Because its surrounding walls are inlaid with more than 20,000 pieces of blue tiles, the light in the hall is particularly soft and quiet, so it is also called "Blue Mosque".

It is said that the craftsmen who fired these tiles were recruited from Persia, so the relationship between Ottoman architectural art and oriental architectural art can be seen.
