From the Roof of Hagia Sophia

July 24, 2009 by A. Cemal Ekin
Blue Mosque from the roof of Hagia Sophia

Earlier, I posted a slideshow consisting of the photographs I took inside Hagia Sophia. Since then, I have created a second slideshow, this time featuring the photographs taken from the roof of Hagia Sophia. You will see the Blue Mosque, the old Hippodrome, the obelisks on one side; and Hagia Eirene and the Topkapi Palace on the other. In between, you will see the Marmara Sea and a view of Istanbul not many have seen before.

I walked a narrow ledge on the roof, probably not wider than 4 feet, to go from the front side to the backside so that I could see Hagia Eirene and Topkapi Palace. Making that walk with no protection was not the smartest thing I have ever done! But, the view on the other side was worth it (now that I made it back in one piece!)

I hope you enjoy the show.
