Review of Santa Sofía

The most gorgeous Orthodox Church in the world. So...

The most gorgeous Orthodox Church in the world. So proud as a Greek and Christian Orthodox. It s the best monument in Constantinople. You can feel the Byzantine legacy and of course as a Greek you can read parts of the scripts on the walls. Turks destroyed much of the Church, such as scratched the faces of Holy Saints, but still, the Church is ICONIC. Tip: DO NOT give your money in Turkish guides as they know little about history. They avoid key worlds such as Byzantine, Greek, Greece, Emperor, and generally they just provide you false facts .
