Saint Sophia was so incredible. Once Christian, and now a mosque and museum. There were portraits of the virgin mary and child.
Topikapi palace is from the 15th century and was the residence of the ottoman sultans. It is now a museum which contains the worlds 3rd largest diamond...yup.. 86 carrots. I could barely look at it without drooling. It also has imperial armory, ancient trees, and chinese ceramics (gifts from other rulers). An incredible day indeed!
