After 15 centuries shrouded in mystery, a vast underground network beneath Hagia Sophia is being opened to the public. Explore a labyrinth of tunnels and catacombs, some potentially older than the iconic structure itself, offering a unique glimpse into this historic landmark's hidden depths.
The Turkish Ministry of Culture is clearing a labyrinthine complex of tunnels, rooms, and catacombs, some potentially predating the iconic structure itself. Stretching for nearly a kilometer, this hidden world offers a glimpse into unexplored facets of the building's history.
A team of scientists, including Professor Diker, conducted an architectural mapping study of the subterranean areas five years ago. This work paved the way for the current restoration efforts, which will allow visitors to experience parts of Hagia Sophia contemporary with its 6th-century construction, as well as sections believed to be even older. The project promises a unique and captivating journey into the depths of this historic landmark, now a mosque once again.
