Mosques and More!

The imposing Blue Mosque.

The Hagia Sofia at night. This was the largest cathedral in the world for nearly 1000 years. Built in the 6th century as a basilica, it was later converted to a mosque. It is now a museum.
A Whirling Dervish. This is not a dance, but a spiritual ritual of persons devoted to the Mevlevi Order. This order practices Sufism, which is the mystic component of Islam.
