Istanbul - Ayasofya & Blue Mosque

Ayasofya or Hagia Sophia was built in 527 with additions and miniarettes added in the 15th and 16th centuries, It has both Christian and Muslim art, symbolism and inscriptions. The Blue Mosque was built between 1609-1616. Both are still active places of worship for people of all ages. Kai and I enjoyed that children are allowed to joyfully cavort while older relatives prayed.
