EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the entrance to the iconic Ayasofya, or Hagia Sophia, in Istanbul, Turkey, during the Ottoman Empire era, around 1905. The Ayasofya, a marvel of Byzantine and Ottoman architecture, is a symbol of the rich history and cultural fusion that defines Istanbul. The entrance is adorned with intricate stonework, moss-covered cumbas, or cantilevered structures, which support the overhanging roof and add to the grandeur of the building. The houses and jettying cumbas in the background offer a glimpse into the daily life of the community that thrived around this architectural masterpiece. The Ayasofya, which served as a mosque for over 480 years before being converted into a museum in 1935, is a testament to the enduring legacy of the Ottoman Empire. This photograph, taken in the early 1900s, provides a rare glimpse into the past and offers a glimpse into the beauty and complexity of Istanbul's history.
