Walking Around Istanbul
The Hagia Sophia.
This was originally built as a church but converted during the Ottoman period.
At Hagia Sophia.
I also went to the Basilica Cistern
This is Medusa's Head, it was used for the foundaton for one of the roof supports. Because this was strickly an engineering project, they used whatever was handy.
