The last Hagia Sophia documentary before the Hagia Sophia Museum was converted into a mosque! Online Hagia Sophia Tour with breathtaking visuals During the period when museums were closed due to the pandemic, we toured and shot historical sites with breathtaking visuals to bring them to you as online cultural tours. With the decision to convert Hagia Sophia into a mosque, our Hagia Sophia shootings became the last documentary about Hagia Sophia. As a guide, speaker, and travel book writer who has been roaming every corner of Istanbul and our country for over 30 years, I am pleased to personally go to historical sites and tell the story with both the videos we have newly shot and the visuals I have carefully selected from my archive. One of these is Hagia Sophia with the footage before it became a mosque. I recommend that you watch this video as a guided cultural tour rather than as a documentary. You can also ask any questions you have during the online tour. Do I need to remind you of the importance of Hagia Sophia? Hagia Sophia, which was used as a church for 916 years during the Byzantine period, was converted into a mosque by Fatih Sultan Mehmed Khan in 1453, served as a selatin mosque for 481 years, and has been a museum for the last 85 years, is a masterpiece. It will continue as a mosque from now on. ⭐️ Credits Producer Şerif Yenen Directors Levent Ayaşlı & Şerif Yenen Director of Photography Candan Murat Özcan Camera Erdoğan Aktaş Script Şerif Yenen Editor Levent Ayaşlı Post-production XLeventfilms Production Assistant Erdoğan Aktaş Sound Erdoğan Aktaş Social Media Marketing Rovshan Rasulov Cansu Yılmaz ⭐️ For more information about Şerif Yenen and his tours, please visit https://www.serifyenen.com.tr. ⭐️ You can also follow me on my social media accounts. ► Instagram: / serifyenen ► Facebook: / serifyenentravel ► Facebook: / travelinturkey ► Twitter: / serifyenen ► Linkedin: / serifyenen
