Close up golden crescent on top of Blue Mosque\u003cbr/\u003eIn the heart of Istanbul lie two unmissable architectural landmarks of the Ottoman empire.\u003cbr/\u003eHagia Sophia, an Orthodox church-turned-mosque-turned-museum, and the Blue Mosque, a magnificent tile-panelled mosque built in the 1600s by Ottoman architect Mehmet.\u003cbr/\u003eIstanbul's Hagia Sophia.\u003cbr/\u003eThe building has had many incarnations in its lifetime: built as a church, then turned into mosque and now a museum. \u003cbr/\u003eHaghia Sophia, also called the Church of Holy Wisdom, was built in 537 BC and remained a symbol of Byzantine grandeur until Istanbul was conquered by Muslim armies.\u003cbr/\u003eThe beginnings of the Hagia Sophia can be traced back to the year 360.\u003cbr/\u003eThe Roman Emperor Constantine the Great built the first church, also known as the Great Church or Magna Ecclesia, on the location of a former pagan temple.\u003cbr/\u003eThe wooden structure burned down in 404, was rebuild a year later by Roman Emperor Theodosius the Second, only to be destroyed again in 532.\u003cbr/\u003eA short time later Justinian the Great, the Byzantine Emperor, commissioned to build a third church, bigger and greater than its predecessors, which was finished in 537.\u003cbr/\u003eFor the next 900 years the Hagia Sophia was the centre of Orthodox Christianity, until 1453 when it was conquered by Ottomans.\u003cbr/\u003eThe structure was then turned into a mosque; minarets were added and crosses and other Christian symbols were defaced. \u003cbr/\u003eDuring the 500 years of the Ottoman empire, the building became the key mosque of the Muslim world.\u003cbr/\u003eBut in 1935, the site was converted to a museum under the secular reforms of modern Turkey's founder, Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, attracting thousands of visitors each year.\u003cbr/\u003eHagia Sophia was chosen a world heritage site by UNESCO in 1985.\u003cbr/\u003eTour guide Abdil Bicer explains how important the building is to all religions.\u003cbr/\u003e\"Hagia Sophia temple was important for all people, Muslims, Christians, Byzantines and Ottomans. For example, for the Ottoman Turks Hagia Sophia was the most important mosque of the capital city Istanbul. Most of the sultans used to come here to pray Fridays, and the ceremony and throning of the new sultan was made in Hagia Sophia. So this shows us that even though it was built by Christian Byzantines, Hagia Sophia was the most important temple for the Ottomans for about 450 years,\" he says.\u003cbr/\u003eThe Hagia Sophia, a domed basilica oriented on the northwest-southeast axis, is an architectural marvel boasting a unique mix of Byzantine and Ottoman features. \u003cbr/\u003eIt's most impressive and notorious feature is the central dome, which sits between two half domes.\u003cbr/\u003eAfter the dome collapsed in an earthquake in 557 it took five years to reconstruct.\u003cbr/\u003eVisitors to the Hagia Sophia are able to discover Byzantine mosaics next to Islamic calligraphy.\u003cbr/\u003eBut some of the Byzantine features had been hidden for hundreds of years.\u003cbr/\u003e\"In a Christian church of course we see many patterns, many figures of humans or angels, archangels, everything, Jesus, Mary. But in Islamic times the main problem was that Muslims can't pray in a place which is full of pictures, any kind of pictures, it is forbidden in Islam religion. So the Turks, the Ottomans, decided to plaster them rather than destroying them, it's much nicer actually. So they put white plaster all over the pictures,\" says Bicer.\u003cbr/\u003eIn July 2009 restoration workers uncovered a well-preserved, long-hidden mosaic face of an angel. \u003cbr/\u003eThe figure - one of two located on the side of a dome - had been covered up along with the building's other Christian mosaics.\u003cbr/\u003eThe mosaics were plastered over according to Muslim custom that prohibits the representation of humans. \u003cbr/\u003eSome of the mosaics were revealed when the domed complex was turned into a museum in 1935, but the angel had largely remained covered. \u003cbr/\u003eToday, visitors can see both one covered angel and one uncovered one.\u003cbr/\u003ePeople from all around the world flock to the Hagia Sophia to see this wonder of the Medieval world.\u003cbr/\u003eWard Fisher from New Zealand says he is fascinated by the architecture.\u003cbr/\u003e\"It is magnificent, the architecture is incredible,\" he says.\u003cbr/\u003eLisa Mehonoshen says it's great to finally see the Hagia Sophia in real life after having read so much about it.\u003cbr/\u003e\"We've read and seen a lot on television about this place, and just to be here is just amazing,\" she says.\u003cbr/\u003eAcross the square and manicured gardens from Hagia Sophia lies another infamous Istanbul landmark: the Blue Mosque.\u003cbr/\u003eAlso known as the Sultan Ahmet Mosque, it is famed for its massive dome, minarets and thousands of hand-painted blue tiles.  \u003cbr/\u003eArchitect Afife Batur says that it represents the pinnacle of Ottoman architecture.\u003cbr/\u003e\"In the most significant point of the historic peninsula we can observe Hagia Sofia; which is a world famous masterpiece. On the other side we have the Blue Mosque, which represents the highest point of Ottoman\u003cbr/\u003earchitecture, culture and history, which had been evolving and developing for three to four centuries,\" she says.\u003cbr/\u003eThe Blue Mosque was built early in the 17th century on the order of Sultan Ahmed I, who was only 19 years old at the time.\u003cbr/\u003eIt was built on the site of the Great Palace of Byzantium, opposite the Hagia Sophia, and aiming to rival its grand architecture.\u003cbr/\u003eThe mosque was designed by architect Mehmet Aga. \u003cbr/\u003eOne of the Blue Mosque's key features is the presence of six minarets, which is very unusual as mosques usually have just one, two or four minarets.\u003cbr/\u003eImam Hasan Kara, Imam at the Blue Mosque, explains that the Blue Mosque received its name from the blue tiles that adorn its ceiling.\u003cbr/\u003e\"The reason why this mosque is referred to as the Blue Mosque is because there are 21,043 hand made ceramics and the dominant colour on these tiles is blue. The blue colours can also be observed throughout the mosque so this is why foreigners have named it the Blue Mosque,\" he says.\u003cbr/\u003eFine examples of 16th-century Iznik design, the tiles feature flowers, trees and abstract patterns.\u003cbr/\u003eThe interior is lit with 260 windows, which were once filled with 17th-century stained glass. \u003cbr/\u003eUnlike its neighbour the Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque is still a working mosque.\u003cbr/\u003eNon-worshippers are required to use the north entrance, off the Hippodrome, but can observe people praying in its premises.\u003cbr/\u003e\"If you could name one mosque in Turkey which everyone studying religion would want to be in, it would be The Blue Mosque. The Blue Mosque is Turkey's Islamic symbol to the world,\" says Imam Hasan Kara.\u003cbr/\u003eMustafa Halkali has come to pray at the Blue Mosque.\u003cbr/\u003e\"Coming here feels uplifting as a Muslim.
