Little Hagia Sophia
Set just south of the Hippodrome, Little Hagia Sophia is a domed mosque whose compact exterior hides an intricate late Roman plan. Its long life as church and mosque makes the building itself a close-up lesson in Istanbul’s layered sacred architecture.

Loggia dei Mercanti Whispering Gallery
