Pope Leo in turkey: Pontiff visits Istanbul’s Sultanahmet mosque
Update: 2025-11-29
Description
The Head of the Catholic Church, Pope Leo, is visiting Istanbul's Sultanahmet Mosque shortly as part of his four-day trip to Turkiye. The pontiff is following in the footsteps of his predecessors Pope Benedict who visited the place of worship in 2006 and Francis who did the same in 2014. Unusually Pope Leo is not expected to visit the nearby Hagia Sophia. It was built in the sixth-century and it has great significance to both Christians and Muslims. Al Jazeera’s Resul Serdar reports.
