Inside the Hagia Sophia, Istanbul

Part of the Sacred Spaces project - find out more at http://www.citiesandmemory.com/sacredspaces

Recorded by Kamen Nedev.

"This is a "sacred place" only up to a point - the Hagia Sophia was desacralized a long time ago, and is nowadays a museum. This is a sound ambience recording done right under the dome of the basilica - so, no chants, no calls to prayer, just the sound environment of about a hundred tourists scrolling under the dome and gazing upwards."
