The most prestigious and most visited ones are Hagia Sophia and the Blue mosque, real symbols of the town. Erected in its current form in 537, Hagia Sophia was for a thousand years the largest Christian basilica in the world. Religious centre of the Byzantium Empire, it is later converted into a mosque and it symbolizes, during five centuries, a triumphant Islam. In 1923, the Turkish Republic replaces the Ottoman Empire and Hagia Sophia, deconsecrated, becomes a museum. Facing the famous Hagia Sophia, on Sultanahmet Square, the Blue mosque, also called Sultan Ahmet Camii, is certainly one of the most famous and among the most beautiful mosques in Istanbul and in the Muslim world. It has six minarets, whose slim shape is specific to the Ottoman architecture. Four minarets frame the main building, whereas two others mark the angles of the adjoining courtyard. Built during the 17th century at the request of Sultan Ahmet 1st, it owes its name to the very beautiful blue earthenware of Iznik that covers the interior of the mosque.
