[x]It was in this building that the Second Council of Nicaea met in 787 to end the first period of Byzantine Iconoclasm.It was converted to a mosque after the fall of the city to the Ottoman Turks in 1337, and functioned as such until it was converted into a museum in 1935. In November 2011 it was again converted into a mosque.> Photo by Bihter Sabanoglu. [x] -- source link
