The History-Rich Heart of Istanbul: Hagia Sophia

In this episode of the Yeditepe University Folklore Club Podcast series, we listen to the whispers of the ages with the theme “Extraordinary Cities... Extraordinary Stories...” and set our course for ancient Istanbul, the cradle of civilizations. We explore Hagia Sophia, a unique monument that holds the glorious memory of empires beneath its dome and the echoes of the ages within its stones

Spanning from the mystical world of Byzantium to the splendor of the Ottoman Empire, this structure is not merely an architectural masterpiece; it is also the most vivid witness to the city’s multi-layered spirit. In our new episode, we discuss the legends hidden in the shadows of Hagia Sophia—which has defied time for 15 centuries—the lived experiences etched into its walls, and its unshakable place in our cultural memory
