dc.description.abstract	During the Ottoman Empire (when the Hagia Sophia was converted into a mosque) the Sultan's loge (octagonal structure) was the point from which the ruler attended services. The structure in the center is the mihrab, while the minbar (stairs) was the pulpit. The square platform in the foreground in front of the minbar is the müezzin mahfihli.	en_US
