Aya Sofya Museum

A beautiful and picturesque church converted into a mosque and later into a museum that still has stunning frescoes within—just like its namesake in Istanbul. There is a peaceful open-air tea garden on the grounds. While the main hall of the church has been converted into a mosque (its legal s

tatus is still under debate) all of the best preserved frescos are still visible in the narthex.
