Haghia Sophia

 On the ground level leading up to the north gallery there are sarcophagus ledges. Really creepy!

The Blue Mosque

The Blue Mosque was built in 1606-1616. The mosque caused great hostility at the time it was built because a mosque with six minarets was considered a sacrilegious attempt to rival the architecture of Mecca.

Women must be covered before entering the mosque, Bill of course had to get a picture.
