'''Hagia Sophia''' (Άγια Σοφία in Greek), the '''Church of Holy Wisdom''', known variously as '''Sancta Sophia''' in Latin or '''Ayasofya''' in Turkish, is an ancient [[cathedral]] of the [[Church of Constantinople]] located in modern-day Istanbul, Turkey. It was converted to a mosque by the Turks and is now used as a museum. It is universally acknowledged as one of the great buildings of the world and a reference point in history of architecture. (The church is sometimes mistakenly called "Saint Sophia," as though it were named for a saint called Sophia.)
