See depictions of two religions side by side at the former Byzantine church which is now a functioning mosque. See the coronation place for the Roman Emperors, the meeting place of the Sultan and his people, the headquarters of Orthodox Christendom, as well as the first mosque in Istanbul. See a dome that was the biggest in the world for 800 years, standing tall at 56 metres in height.

If you choose to book entry tickets, step inside for a self-guided exploration of the architectural marvel.

Inside the Hagia Sophia, a testament to centuries of history, take an immersive journey through time, as you uncover the secrets and treasures held within its hallowed walls.
