Stock Photo - 10 July 2020, Turkey, Istanbul: A mosaic depicting the Christian Mother of God with the Child Jesus can be seen between Islamic characters in the Hagia Sophia, which is currently a museum and, as part of the historic quarter in Istanbul, is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. After the court decision on Hagia Sophia, Turkish President Erdogan ordered the building to be opened for Islamic prayer. The Hagia Sophia (Greek: Holy Wisdom), built in the 6th century A.D., was the largest church of Christianity and the main church of the Byzantine Empire for almost a millennium, where emperors were crowned.
