It was the Holiest site for Eastern Orthodox Christianity. Until the Ottoman Turks sacked Constantinople and converted the Church into a Mosque.
To this day the Holy Church/Mosque is now used as a Museum of all the old Orthodox Christian Iconic Art and the old Roman architecture in it.
Controversial question. It's an architectural wonder that was first built as a church, which was converted to a mosque after the Ottomans took over Istanbul, and then converted to a museum by the republican government in Turkey, simply to be reconverted into a mosque in 2020. "Immensely important place of worship for both Christians and Muslims" is the closest one might get to an answer.
It was built in 5 years, by 10,000 workers.
