Walking into such a famous and grand structure as Aya Sofya, my expectations were high. This nearly 1700 year old building has seen the devotion of not only one global religion, but two. The mix of ancient Christian frescoes and enormous the Islamic emblems creates a mysterious feeling. Walking the porticos and admiring the intricate painting in Aya Sofya's impressive cieling is an unforgettable experience.
