The city of Trabzon, I want to tell you, is absolutely not small! There is a place to walk (but it's better for girls to cover their shoulders and knees, everything is more religious here than in Istanbul)!
But the Hagia Sophia Mosque (the famous Istanbul mosque of the same name) impressed me very much. It's not big, but it has a very pleasant energy, I didn't want to leave at all. Under the arches, the faces of Saints have been preserved, something similar to space and even a rocket, it's all amazing and fascinating. Previously, it was a Christian temple, which can be traced back to ancient times with its images.
The place is historical, it is always interesting to look at what was built almost 1000 years ago. Sea view, the city is great. The fact that it was first a Christian church, and now a mosque, you just have to accept. Who knows what the future holds? Maybe everything will change.
The temple dates back to 1461, and even the frescoes have been preserved on the ceiling. The architecture is authentic Byzantine. It is a pity that it is now a functioning mosque. You can visit outside the time of worship, for free. Beautiful sea views.
