The Hagia Sophia, located in Istanbul, Turkey, is one of the world's most iconic and historically significant buildings. Originally constructed as a Christian basilica in the 6th century, it served as the cathedral of the Byzantine Empire. Following the Ottoman conquest of Constantinople in 1453, it was converted into a mosque and remained so for nearly five centuries.
