Hagia Sophia is an absolute must when you visit Istanbul, Türkiey! I was like a kid in a candy shop in this beautiful place with my camera!

Here is a little history on Higia Sophia:

“The Hagia Sophia (Ayasofya in Turkish) was originally built as a basilica for the Greek Orthodox Christian Church. However, its function has changed several times in the centuries since.
Byzantine Emperor Constantius commissioned construction of the first Hagia Sophia in 360 A.D. At the time of the first church’s construction, Istanbul was known as Constantinople, taking its name from Constantius’ father, Constantine I, the first ruler of the Byzantine Empire.” - History.com

🌋 Nicaragua has 23 volcanoes, 19 of which are active. This one was pretty spooky as we were able to look down into the crater + see hot, ‘basaltic’ lava.

🔥 When the spanish conquistadors came across the Masaya Volcano they believed they had stumbled upon the gates of hell! At this time there was an active lava lake, + apparently they attempted to extract the volcanos molten gold.

✝️ The spanish baptized this volcano naming it “La Boca del Infierno” (The Mouth of Hell) planting a cross to exorcise the devil.

👇🏼 Do you think they had a successful exorcism???
