dc.description.abstract	Three elements from the period when the Christian Hagia Sophia was converted into an Islamic Mosque. Left to Right: Mihrab or niche indicating the direction of Mecca, Minbar (pulpit with stairs), and the square mini building/platform that is the Müezzin Mahfihli. The circles inlaid in the floor were from the period during the Byzantine era when the building was a Church and is known as the Omphalion or Coronation Square--the spot where the emperors were crowned.	en_US
