Well known fact a lot of churches were built upon pagan temples.

People dont realise recycling is better than building a whole new building
Exactly, a lot of Mosques in Europe are basically abandoned Churches and the priests prefer the Church to be turned into a Mosque than a bar or disco
 
According to some scholars HS was built on an old Pagan temple.

Is that true ?
The original church on the site of the Hagia Sophia is said to have been built by Constantine I in 325 on the foundations of a pagan temple.

It was not uncommon that Constantine did this a lot: https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-...sts-doubt-on-the-authenticity-of-1468786.html
