Once the largest cathedral in the world, this architectural masterpiece was commissioned by Emperor Justinian I in the 6th century and served as the Byzantine Empire’s most important religious site. Following the Ottoman conquest of Constantinople in 1453, it underwent a transformation into a mosque, incorporating new features such as minarets and Islamic calligraphy. In the 20th century, it was turned into a museum and later back into a mosque in 2020.
