Hagia Sophia, Trabzon
Let There Be Light.
This picture taken on my travels of Turkey in 1995 of the central #dome of St. Sophia in #Trabzon. The church was converted to a mosque in 1461 by the sultan Mehmet. In accordance with Islamic law mages are not permitted in places of worship so the fresco's faces were erased and the walls whitewashed. From a google search I understand the church is a place of Islamic worship From July 2013 and the frescos have been protected and covered.
