Hagia Sophia Museum

After the conquest of Constantinople by Fatih Sultan Mehmet, the building was turned into a mosque and the icons and mosaics were covered. As the building was partially affected by earthquakes and natural disasters over time, it was restored by the most famous architect of the period, Mimar Sinan.   The building, which served two great religions, was converted into a museum on 1 February 1935. The Hagia Sophia, which is shown as the eighth wonder of the world, is open to visitors every day and for a fee, the museum cardholders can visit free of charge. The metro line, tram line and public transportation are easily accessible for those who want to visit the Hagia Sophia Museum, which is located just opposite the Sultan Ahmet Mosque.

Visiting Hours: From April 15th to October 31st between 09:00 and 19:00. From November 1st to April 15th from 09:00 to 17:00.
