Country Reviews: Turkey, the Beauteous Transcontinental Nation Part II


Country Reviews: Interesting Places to Visit in Turkey


1. The Hagia Sophia

The Hagia Sophia, located at the biggest city of Turkey, Istanbul, would be the first on our list for the astounding architecture. Before it was a grand museum like today, it was formerly a church for the Byzantine Empire and Constantinople. Then the Ottomans would come along to lay siege on Constantinople, taking the Hagia Sophia and turning it into an Islamic Mosque. After the fall of the great Ottoman Empire, the first Turkish President reformed it, turning it into a museum for all to lay eyes on the grand and exquisite work.
You should visit the Hagia Sophia because of the unique architecture where marble and mosaics had filled the grand hall. The mosaics that filled the Hagia Sophia also had imagery of various Christian references like the Virgin Mother Mary and his newborn son, Jesus. By reviewing the various mosaics, there are also images of several rulers of the past Byzantine Empire like Emperor Alexander the Second or Empress Zoe. All of the imagery in the dome would make this a must see place for history buffs or those who just want to witness something from the past.

Country Reviews’ Introduction of Singapore:



Country Review noted that Singapore is an island that is situated in a strategic place in Southeast Asia, where Malaysia, Philippines and Indonesia surrounds the small island. The island is sunny all year round, with monsoon periods lasting a few months. The cuisine in Singapore is also very unique; many are mixtures from foods from different ethnic groups like the famous Curry Fish Head.
