About this place
Overlooking the Black Sea from a scenic coastal terrace, the Trabzon Hagia Sophia Mosque (Trabzon Ayasofya Camii) is a brilliant 13th-century monument celebrated as a masterpiece of late Byzantine architecture. Built between 1238 and 1263 as a monastery church during the reign of Emperor Manuel I Komnenos, this structural marvel was later converted into a mosque following the Ottoman conquest by Fatih Sultan Mehmet. For heritage travelers exploring famous ancient places in Eastern Turkey, a visit to Trabzon's Hagia Sophia rewards art lovers with its exceptionally preserved stone reliefs depicting creation scenes, a towering historical bell tower, and a magnificent central dome featuring vibrant Christian frescoes alongside its active Islamic prayer sections.
