The Church of Hagia Sophia, located in Istanbul, Turkey, is considered to be the largest church in the country. Built in the 6th century, this Byzantine-style church is an architectural wonder and a popular tourist attraction. The church has been used as a mosque, and since 1935 it has been a museum. It is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site and a must-see for any traveler to Istanbul. The massive dome and intricately carved marble walls of Hagia Sophia are a testament to the brilliance of Byzantine architecture.
