Micul Hagia Sofia (Little Hagia Sofia)
Before building Emperor Justinian Aya Sofya, he had to test if the building was working structurally, so he built the first miniature version.His original name was the church of Sergei and Bacchus, but obvious architectural parallels with Aya Sofya led to his long -term nickname becoming the official title of the building.During the Ottoman era, the church was transformed into a mosque and still works as a work mosque.Although its proportions are not as great as others in Istanbul, the building has been beautifully restored and worth a visit.Walking, on narrow alleys, lined up with tall buildings from the Ottoman era - some generously restored and others drooping their way to Dărăpănation - is a quiet break from the Sultanahmet center.Take time to have a glass of tea in the quiet garden of that Sofya, to support you for more explosions to visit the tourist attractions.
