It was built 1,500 years ago as an Orthodox Christian cathedral and later converted into a mosque after Ottomans ended the Byzantine Empire with the conquest of Constantinople in 1453. Later, Turkish secular leader Mustafa Kemal Ataturk transformed the UNESCO World Heritage site into museum in 1934 for the last 86 years, drawing millions of tourists annually, but again the incumbent president of Turkey Tayyip Erdogan converted it back into a mosque in 2020.
