In 1453, following the conquest of Constantinople by the Ottoman Turks under Sultan Mehmed II, Hagia Sophia was converted into a mosque. The Ottomans added minarets, removed Christian iconography, and made other alterations to adapt the building for Islamic worship. In 1935, under the Republic of Turkey, led by Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, Hagia Sophia was secularized and turned into a museum as part of efforts to modernize the country and promote secularism. However, in July 2020, Turkish authorities announced that Hagia Sophia would once again be converted into a mosque, sparking international debate and controversy. The decision was implemented, and Hagia Sophia resumed functioning as a mosque.
