Cool.

Of course I ask because the building is architecturally similar to Hagia Sophia.

I wonder how that happened. Was it a church that also got converted to a mosque (as Hagia Sophia was and did)? Was it an Ottoman architect adopting the architecture that he had learned from studying Hagia Sophia? Something else? What is the story behind that?
