AYASOFYA MUSEUM - EIGHT WONDER OF THE WORLD IN ISTANBUL
Hi everyone! This time I would like to introduce you another historical place in Istanbul that is definitely worth to go and see! This is a very historical museum, which was converted from a mosque, called Ayasofya. When we say Istanbul, Ayasofya is one of the most important places that come to people’s mind. Did you know that Ayasofya is considered as the Eighth Wonder of the World? Yes, this building is definitely one of the best buildings in the world. As a fact, there are many mosques in Istanbul, but Ayasofya is the biggest of them all for sure. Ayasofya was built and completed as a mosque in the year of 537, and then it was turned into a museum in 1935. It is a very old and big museum, and you would love the architect, and the beautiful mosaics of the building. Personally, I love the way it looks at night. It shines so beautiful that it looks very exotic and romantic at night, and in the day, it looks very pretty with the entire beautiful garden around the museum. If you go there as a tourist, you should definitely not miss to see Ayasofya in Istanbul! You will see what I am talking about!!! :)
