    I walked through Sultanahmet Park on a bright October afternoon while clouds moved quickly over the Hagia Sophia. The fountain in the middle of the park was a pleasure to watch and lots of people were enjoying it, taking time to sit and take in the sound of water falling.

  11. Okay, ignoring that reading this has made me even stupider - I always assume there was SOME kind of thought process that lead to such statements and I’m very interested in this one. What exactly happened there?

    Where did the connection between the #HagiaSophia and the office of senator for #SouthCarolina come from? What is he free-associating? (lum)

    Another tourist watches for a moment before taking her own photo with her phone, inside the Hagia Sophia in Istanbul. Non Muslims are restricted in where they can go now because it was turned back into a mosque again in 2020.

    This was on the morning after I spent the day in bed recovering from food poisoning, so I didn’t take a whole lot of photos and had to go back to bed afterwards as I was so tired from the walk. This page has a number of photos showing what it’s like. Definitely try to avoid the busy times. It’s thronged with visitors.

  19. Sultan Mehmet’s Charter About Aya Sofya

    Sultan Mehmet’s Charter About Aya Sofya

    As prayers are offered in the Aya Sofya after 86 years, it’s important to remember the charter established by Mehmet the Conqueror in 1453. The Turkish courts have revoked Atatürk’s decision of 1935 on the basis of this charter.

    Sultan Mehmed II’s charter (Waqfiyya) for Ayasofya, registered in 1462, established the iconic building as an inalienable Islamic religious endowment (waqf) to be operated as a mosque in perpetuity. The charter protected it from alteration, outlined its management, and dedicated surrounding properties to fund its maintenance.  Key Aspects of the Charter:
    • Establishment as a Mosque: The charter codified the conversion of Hagia Sophia from a cathedral into a mosque after the 1453 conquest.
    • Permanent Status: It officially created the Fatih Complex and the Hagia Sophia Al-Kabeer Foundation, declaring that the foundation’s rules cannot be amended, and the building cannot be converted from its purpose.
    • Financial Endowment: It dedicated surrounding schools, libraries, shops, and houses in Istanbul to the foundation, ensuring the mosque would be maintained using the revenue from these properties.
    • Protection: The document formally protected the structure from being sold, pledged, or seized, calling for its protection eternally.
    • The Foundation Curse: The document famously contains a “foundation curse” directed towards those who might try to change the function of the property. 
    The original charter was written on a 66-meter-long gazelle skin. It is important to note that while some narratives claim Sultan Mehmed purchased the building, the trust charter demonstrates that it was treated as public property (waqf) after the conquest,
