First Prayers Held At Reconverted Hagia Sophia Mosque After Status Change

People pose with the Turkish flag and take photos outside the Hagia Sophia Grand Mosque on July 24, 2020 in Istanbul, Turkey. Istanbul's Hagia Sophia hosted Muslim Friday prayers for the first time in 86 years after being reconverted from a museum into a mosque. The Hagia Sophia was built 1,500 years ago as an Orthodox Christian cathedral, but was first converted into a mosque after the Ottoman conquest, then into a museum.
