ISTANBUL
Istanbul is one of the major cities in Turkey. It is the financial and commercial capital of Turkey. Its streets are always crowded with both natives and tourists and I must say, it’s no surprise to hear of one getting lost in the city. It is the only city found legitimately at the crossroads of Europe and Asia.
Noted among its many sights are the “Aya Sofya”, otherwise called “Hagia Sophia”- the church of divine wisdom, an originally Christian basilica is now a museum with a broad interior and dazzling patchwork; the Blue Mosque; the Basilica Cistern; the ancient Hippodrome etc.
The streets of Istanbul also houses a lot of restaurants and street food vendors with delicious delicacies.

  • Comparing the Hagia Sophia and the Suleymanye Mosques in Istambul

    When Emperor Constantine found the city of Constantinople, it was soon to become the capital of the Eastern Roman Empire. But the Christin city needed a great church to represent it’s great value, so the Hagia Sophia was built (Krystek, Lee). The Hagia Sophia was built by the Byzantine Empire in 537 C.E., which was an Empire influenced greatly by the greek and roman styles (Krystek, Lee). It has a square base with a large dome on the top. Round arcs surrounded the large dome, adding mystical beauty to the Hagia Sophia (Krystek, Lee). Also, multiple colors of bricks were used to create patterns on the outside of the Hagia Sophia. On the inside, the walls are made of marble with glass panes which bring beautiful sunlight into the large museum (Krystek, Lee). The Hagia Sophia is very significant because it was rebuilt many times. The first church was built and then burnt down in 404 C.E. (Krystek, Lee). It was then rebuilt and burned down by riots in 502 C.E. (Krystek, Lee). Then the 3rd church was built by Justinian. After long periods of time, Sultan Mehmed conquered Constantinople and changed it to an islamic city, converting the church to a mosque (Krystek, Lee). In 1934, President Ataturk changed the mosque to a museum for the people and tourists, instead of a sacred place of worship (Krystek, Lee).
