HAGIA SOPHIA, ISTANBUL

AIRVŪZ STAFF NOTE :

One of the most well-known tourist destinations in Istanbul is the Hagia Sophia Museum.  Built in the 6th century, for nearly a millennium it was the center of the Eastern Orthodox Church.  Converted to a mosque in the 15th century after the Fall of Constantinople, in the 1930's it was converted to a museum.  Contributor Omer Gocken used a drone to create this impressive aerial view of this religious landmark, which appeared in the opening scenes of two James Bond movies: the second, From Russia with Love (1963), and 25th, Skyfall (2012).
