Description
"In
exterior
view
, the
great
dome
dominates
the
structure
, but the
building's
present
external
aspects
are
much
changed
from their
original
appearance
.
Huge
buttresses
were
added
to the
Justinianic
design
, and
four
towering
Turkish
minarets
were
constructed
after
the
Ottoman
conquest
of
1453
,
when
Hagia
Sophia
became
an
Islamic
mosque
. The
building
was
secularized
in the
twentieth
century
and
is
now
a
museum.
