We are visiting another world landmark in this book, the Hagia Sophia, definitely on my bucket list. It‘ll never happen, but it doesn‘t hurt to dream. I love the descriptions of history in this book. #readathon2020 #Slovenia If y‘all are wondering why this book is taking so long, I‘ve only been reading one chapter a night during the #scarathlon #teamslaughter #slaughterthon et al

BarbaraBB I‘ve visited the Hagia Sofia in Istanbul twice and it‘s gorgeous but they turned it into a museum the last time I was there which is a shame because it was such a gorgeous mosque. 4y

rwmg @BarbaraBB They've turned it back into a mosque now but that means covering up all the Byzantine mosaics 😭😭😭 4y
BarbaraBB @rwmg You‘re right, I read about the debate going on around that! That is such a pity. It won‘t be open to non Muslims either perhaps (edited) 4y
