Ayasofya Içerisi, Istanbul, c.1940s - Foto Kartpostal

Trying to geo-locate my photos. I took one at the main entrance to Ayasoya, but trying to click the spot is being made harder than necessary by a business that has slapped their location down as being right at the main entrance, with a wide inclusion range where clicking on the map jumps to their pin. Too many businesses are doing this.
I see no easy way to report this kind of spam. "Suggest an edit" isn't useful here.

Recently turned from a museum into a mosque, they don't allow tourists to visit the ground floor anymore. Still impressive to see this ancient piece of architecture.

I am a bit disappointed by a (recent?) change they have done to how entering Ayasofya works: the entrance is not anymore from the main portal, but from the side. This means that the mosaic depicting Constantine, Mary and Justinian is not seen by most people. On another topic, the style contrast between Ayasofya and Sultanahmet is always food for thought: a play between light and darkness, two mirrors of the same thing. #istanbul #turkey #ayasofya #sultanahmet
