                 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.

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