I mosque ask you a question

Today we got an early start, probably due to the jet lag, and one of our many stops was visiting two of the most famous mosques in Istanbul, Hagia Sophia and the Sultan Amhed or more well known as the Blue Mosque. The Hagia Sophia was once a church, later a mosque and now a museum holds significance for both Byzantine and Ottoman Empires. The mosque was built in around 530 A.D. The Sultan Amhed, also amazing, as commissioned by Sultan Ahmet I when he was only 19 years old. It was built near the Hagia Sophia, over the site of the ancient hippodrome and Byzantine imperial palace, construction work began in 1609 and took seven years.

Istanbul is dotted with dozens or more mosques not comparable in size but still unlike anything we had seen before.
