The mosque functions as a place of worship.
A lot of pilgrims and tourists come to Istanbul, here and there are often a long queues, but the entrance to the Hagia Sophia is paid entrance, and it functions as a museum.

But for some parishes the patron is the person St. Sophia, while others, like the great cathedral in Istanbul, are named Holy Wisdom.
