    Mate, Hagia Sophia has been converted to a national museum by Atatürk. During 1930s..
    But it is not free as all museums the last time (2 years before) if you pay 10 Euro you can enter. I have visited more than 10 times.

    Hagia Sophia is a symbol for muslims in Turkey here, a symbol of Turkish conquest of Istanbul, like El Hamra Palace which is symbol of reconquesta.

    P.S. I wish I had a chance to go back and send you lots of them. In university I just taken them as scenery.
