The Hagia Sophia is a museum now, it’s neither mosque nor church.

And it’s not in great shape.



definitely needs some work. Maybe give ole Jim Henderson with Rhino Shield a call, never have to paint again.

Seriously though, I couldn't imagine how much it would cost to completely restore the entire building. Mosaic work alone would be millions and millions of dollars, not even including the scaffolding required to reach the ceiling.

This scaffolding was in place when I visited in 2009. It looked quite precarious.
