Istanbul. a beautiful country





Istanbul is known as the country with a variety of historical monuments that must be visited.
My trip there lasted for four days but I got to see lots of breathtaking

sights.

mosques. It was built between 1609 and 1616 during the reign of Sultan Ahmet Ist.

This is Hagia Sophia. It was a Greek Orthodox Christian patriarchal basilica, later
it became an imperial mosque and now it’s a museum.

believes.
