==== History of Hagia Irene ====
Throughout history Hagia Irene has undergone several changes. There were multiple repairs due to the Nika riots and earthquakes. When the Ottomans took over Hagia Irene they repurposed it and made a few changes, but none as drastic as what was done to Hagia Sophia.<ref name=":0" /> Today, Hagia Irene is still standing and open to visitors as a museum. It is open everyday, except for Tuesdays.
