Basilica Cisterns and the "little Hagia Sophia"
Very busy 1st day! Our morning session involved class time and discussions and our afternoon was a walk around the historic district. Take a look at the pictures below...can you guess what they are?
Taken inside the Basilica Cisterns--where Constantinople stored water from aqueducts.
Spices sold in the bazaar.
Visiting my first mosque. Built by Justinian (originally built as a church) before his masterpiece, Hagia Sophia.

Thanks Megan. We will be visiting the Blue Mosque next week. That is the one in the first picture on the blog.
