... ~~that the Balaban Aga Mosque in Istanbul (pictured), destroyed in 1930, in the Byzantine Age was probably the library of a Constantinople's Monastery?~~

New enough, long enough, and properly cited (offline refs accepted AGF), but I feel the hook could be made more interesting. How about

ALT1: ... that the Balaban Aga Mosque in Istanbul (pictured), built in the Byzantine era, was demolished in 1930 because it stood in the way of a new road?

I think that both are ok. If you like more the second, let's go for it. Thanks! Alex2006 (talk) 06:11, 5 May 2012 (UTC)

Let's go with ALT1 then, so striking out original hook. Good to go. --Zanhe (talk) 00:34, 6 May 2012 (UTC)
