- Türkçe: Ayasofya, Bizans İmparatoru I. Jüstinyen tarafından MS 532-537 yılları arasında İstanbul'un eski şehir merkezine katedral olarak inşa ettirilen ve günümüzde cami olarak hizmet veren tarihi mabet. 1500 yıllık tarihi olan Ayasofya, sanat tarihi ve mimarlık dünyasının başyapıtları arasında yer alır. Osmanlı döneminde camiye çevrilmiş, barındırdığı sanatsal ve kültürel miras sebebiyle 1935'te müze olarak hizmete açılmış, 1936'da tapuya resmen "Ayasofyayı Kebir Camii Şerifi" adıyla kaydedilmiş, 1991'de bir bölümü ibadete açılmış ve 2020'deki Danıştay kararıyla tekrar bütünüyle cami olarak "Ayasofya-i Kebîr Câmi-i Şerîfi" adıyla kullanıma sunulmuştur.
