Hagia Sophia Turkey ポストカード

The Hagia Sophia is a structural icon that has transitioned from a Byzantine cathedral to an Ottoman mosque and now a monument of global significance. Its massive dome, which seems to float on light, was a revolutionary feat of engineering when it was completed in the 6th century. Inside, the convergence of Christian mosaics and Islamic calligraphy tells the story of Istanbul’s diverse history. The interplay of light through its many windows creates a celestial atmosphere that has inspired awe for over a millennium.
