Uzbekistan (2) (3) by Caspar Tromp
Via Flickr:
(1) (2) Bukhara - Chor Minor madrasah from the 1800s. It is said that the Uzbek commissioner of this building was inspired by the Indian monuments he saw there when trading in India. Hence the four quirky minarets which have no parallels in Uzbekistan.
(3) Tashkent's Soviet era metro stations are among the most beautiful in the world. Noticeable are the reference to its traditional, Iranian-Islamic architecture, such as the muqarna capitals on the columns.

When visiting Hagia Sophia, consider these helpful tips to make the most of your experience. Firstly, plan your visit for weekdays, preferably Tuesdays to Thursdays, to avoid the weekend crowds. Arriving early in the morning shortly after the opening time allows for a more peaceful and immersive exploration of the monument. If possible, visit during the shoulder seasons of spring (April to May) or autumn (September to October) to avoid peak tourist numbers. Be mindful of local events and holidays to plan your trip around potential busy periods. Lastly, respect the cultural significance of Hagia Sophia, and dress modestly out of respect for its religious history and current status.
