Amazing Istanbul. Eight things to do in this ancient city

<h2>1. Visit the Hagia Sophia</h2> <p>I think, visit of the Hagia Sophia is the most popular item in many Istanbul travel guides. Of course, this museum is one of the first places, that I would recommend to visit for each tourist in the city. Walking through the majestic temple is comparable to traveling back in time hundreds of years ago.</p> <p>Construction of the Hagia Sophia began under Emperor Justinian in 532, the work continued for five years. It should be noted that this is the third place of worship on this site. Once there was a market square, on the site of which a Christian basilica was built. This construction was destroyed by fire. The second church met the same fate. The Hagia Sophia has been turned into the mosque since 1453.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/@4traveler/amazing-istanbul-eight-things-to-do-in-this-ancient-city-a6b7af01b89f"><strong>Click Here</strong></a></p>
