    Dedicated to the Holy Wisdom, Hagia Sophia was the largest cathedral in the world for over a thousand of years. First a patriarchal basilica later converted to a mosque is today a magnificent example of Byzantine and Islamic art alloy. With its majestic body crowned with an enormous dome it makes you feel small and humble in the presence of God. Enter to witness an impressive performance of light, polychrome marble and gold mosaics which along with the Islamic calligraphic roundels suspended from the dome present a fascinating religious contrast right in front of your awed eyes.
