Hagia Sophia, Istanbul, Turkey
Commissioned in the 6th century by Emperor Justinian, Hagia Sophia in Istanbul, Turkey, was the greatest church in Eastern Christendom for almost a thousand years. It was converted to a mosque in the 15th century when four minarets were added and it is now a museum. Its style was influenced by Georgian and Seljuk design, but inside its wall paintings and mosaic floors adhere to the Constantinople aesthetic of the time of construction, 1238 and 1263.
