Wat Ko Kaew Ketsadaram (วัดเกาะแก้วเกษฎาราม), located north of Ayutthaya’s historic city island in Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya Province, Thailand, is an active Buddhist temple with roots in the late Ayutthaya Kingdom and significant developments during the Ratanakosin period.
Known as the “Monastery of the Crystal Island,” it reflects the region’s spiritual and cultural heritage, enhanced by its serene setting near the Pa Sak River. The temple’s history intertwines with military campaigns, royal patronage, and early 20th-century conservation efforts, with its mural paintings serving as a key artistic feature preserved under King Rama V’s initiatives.
Wat Ko Kaew Ketsadaram was formally established in 1868 (BE 2411) by Phraya Yamarat, the governor of Korat (modern Nakhon Ratchasima), following his victorious military campaign in Luang Prabang, Laos.

The Hagia Sophia in Istanbul’s Fatih district, a UNESCO World Heritage Site (inscribed 1985), is a 6th-century architectural marvel. Built in 537 AD as a Byzantine cathedral under Emperor Justinian I, it became a mosque in 1453 after Ottoman conquest, a museum in 1935, and a mosque again in 2020.
Its massive dome (31m wide, 55.6m high), supported by pendentives, revolutionized architecture, influencing Ottoman mosques. Featuring Byzantine mosaics and Ottoman calligraphy, it symbolizes Istanbul’s Christian-Islamic heritage.

The mosque built by Sultan Mehmet II (Mehmed the Conqueror) after the fall of Constantinople in 1453 is the Fatih Mosque (Turkish: Fatih Camii, meaning “Conqueror’s Mosque”)
The Fatih Mosque, located in Istanbul’s Fatih district, was commissioned by Sultan Mehmet II to commemorate his conquest of Constantinople. Completed in 1470, it was built on the site of the Byzantine Church of the Holy Apostles, a significant 4th-century Christian complex second only to Hagia Sophia in importance. The mosque symbolized Ottoman dominance and the transformation of Constantinople into Istanbul, the new capital of the Ottoman Empire.
The Church of the Holy Apostles, originally constructed around 330–336 AD under Emperor Constantine the Great and rebuilt by Justinian I in the 6th century, housed relics of apostles and served as an imperial burial site. Its location on Constantinople’s fourth hill was strategically supported by the 4th-century Valens Aqueduct (completed 373 AD), which supplied water to ...
