Influences Intertwine in This Architectural Wonder

This location is fantastic. It seamlessly melds Christian and Muslim elements in its architecture, design, and decoration like few other places (perhaps only Cordoba’s Mosque-Cathedral compares). Now officially a mosque, the ground level is devoted to prayers, while the upper level invites tourists to discover and take in stunning sights. It's an essential visit when you’re in Istanbul—begin your tour in the morning to dodge the crowds, and take your time to appreciate each aspect of its storied past.
