But it hurts me to know that one of the largest, most ancient Christian structures on the planet (the Hagia Sophia) is now nothing more than a museum.


It was turned into a Mosque before it was a museum.

And it was the seat of the Patriarch of Constantinople before that.

Of the original five patriarchs (Rome, Constantinople, Antioch, Jerusalem, and Alexandria), only one remained out of the clutches of the Islamic plague.
