History of the Hagia Sophia

                         

                 In this days  ,  Hagia Sophia  is a museum in the Istanbul ( Constantinopolis).

                 Come on !  let's look at history of the Hagia Sophia ..


                Hagia  Sophia is God's wisdom in the Greece Language.

                Hagia Sophia  church  was  built  by   the architect called Isidoros   order of the 

               Byzantion  Emperor  I. Justinian  between 532 and  537 .

             

      This  built   was  served   as a  church  for  900  years. 

      And Hagia Sophia  was the  largest church in the   world until   1453.

      So  What's  happened  in the 1453  ?

      During of  15  th centuries  ;  the war  begins  one of world big event ..

      The guns  booms , the civil people  fleeing church or mosque ..

      The soldiers  were  dying   for victory of  Konstantinopolis  ..

       The  Turks  wanted to conquest  of Constantinopolis.  Because this  city was very 

 important as geostrategic. Then again  according  to İslamic religion the Prophet   

 Muhammed  

 said  that   :  "  One day  !  The Konstantinopolis  will  be conquested by the İslamic soldier."

      Ottoman  Emperor  Sultan II. Mehmet   started to attact   to  Byzantion state walls.
            
     At  the  end of the war ; the historical  empire destroyed  by the Turks in the  29 May 1453.

     Oddly enough , Ottoman Sultan II. Mehmet was  just twenty one years old.

    When the Ottoman state defeated  to Byzantion state  in the 29 May  1453 , Hagia Sofia 

church  converted  by the Turk Sultan II. Mehmet  for  the symbol of the  victory.

 

                                                 (   a view Hagia  Sophia in the 1910 )


      Hagia Sophia's historical evolution  had not complete ..

      In the 1932 , Hagia  Sophia mosque was converted to museum  by the President of the 

      Rebuclic of Turkey Mustafa Kemal Atatürk.  

                         

    The  today ; Hagia  Sophia  has diffirent cultures ,  because  there  are  Christianity 

 culture      (  Jesus Christ  , Mather Maria  and Angels mozaiks   )    with   İslamic culture

(  Allah * The God*  and  Muhammed * The Prophet* Arabic  name figures )  in Hagia Sophia.

  

          Hagia  Sophia  is  one of  Istanbul's  most  important  historical building .
