After the Ottoman Turks conquered Constantinople in 1453, they converted the Hagia Sophia, originally a Christian cathedral, into a mosque. They made several modifications, including the addition of minarets, a mihrab, and a minbar, while also preserving many of its Christian mosaics and architectural features. In 1935, the building was secularized and turned into a museum, but in 2020, it was reconverted into a mosque by the Turkish government.
