When the Hagia Sophia was converted into a mosque in 1453, the Christian features were removed, and Islamic faetures, like the minbar and mihrab, plus four minarets, were added. Even though the mosque has now been secularized, it still retains its Islamic appearance.
The Islamic features such as the mihrab, the minbar, and the four minarets outside.
The Hagia Sophia is an example of Byzantine Architecture. It features minarets which are slender towers with balconies from which believers are called to daily prayer at the buildings corners. It was formerly a Christian Church that was made into an Islamic mosque. It is in Constantinople, now known as Istanbul Turkey.
The minarets of Hagia Sophia were added during the Ottoman Empire after the conquest of Constantinople in 1453. Sultan Mehmed II commissioned the construction of the first minaret shortly after the city fell to the Ottomans, and additional minarets were added by subsequent sultans. The transformation of Hagia Sophia from a cathedral into a mosque included these architectural features, which are characteristic of Islamic religious buildings.
