The Hagia Sophia

The Hagia Sophia is a cathedral in Istanbul, Turkey. It was built at the height of the Byzantine Empire as a Christian cathedreal, and was converted to a mosque after the conquest of Istanbul (then called Constantinople) by the Ottoman Empire. The Hagia Sophia is now a museum.

The cathedral may have been visited during the Clue Hunt by Team Six, who found the Clue Sulfur, or by Team Two, per Card 194: Sky Message.
