The building was erected three times by the Eastern Roman Empire. The present Hagia Sophia is the third, built in 537 AD. Although its title was accepted as an orthodox church, a mosque, a museum and then a mosque again, the building carried the title of Catholic cathedral for a long time after the fourth crusade.[4] In other words, after the construction of the Orthodox Church, then the Catholic Cathedral, then the Ottoman conquest of Istanbul on 29 May 1453, it was converted into a mosque; after the establishment of the Republic of Turkey, it became a museum in 1935, then a mosque again in 2020.
