More from the Hagia Sophia.
I like looking up and looking down.
Looking up was rewarded with lovely views, though it would benefit from some restoration.
Looking down was nothing. When it was reclassified to a mosque in 2020, the floors were covered with boring green carpeting.

Beautiful details.
And I imaging all the saints have been painted over...hopefully not removed!
Maybe one day it will be restored.
When it first became a mosque in 1453 a number of the "Christian" murals were painted over. Work to restore these has been stopped by the current administration. Terrific photos, Jack.
Stunning colours, stunning architecture
