As with many such spaces there is really no way to capture in a picture the grandeur you experience when present but I took a photo anyway to remind myself.
I found this interesting to watch. The weather is great, and there are not masses of people outside, so it’s really easy to get your picture taken in front of the Hagia Sophia. But inside, you can get your picture taken in front of an image of the Hagia Sophia. Is this more „real“? I liked the cat on the left also.
The golden tiles are oriented in slightly different directions, so at any one time some of them will catch the light and sparkle. I found this quite beautiful.
