Betreff: Hagia Sophia Virtual Tour hase been released (Turkey)
Hagia Sophia (Ayasofya) - Turkey
Hagia Sophia church was built during the reign of Emperor Theodosius and
burned down in the fire of Nika Revolt in 532 A.D. during the reign of
Justinian. The same year Justinian ordered to build a new basilica, the one
we can see today, and only five years later, 537 AD, it was opened to the
public. The architects of this new basilica were Isidorus from Miletus
(S?ke) and Anthemious from Tralles (Ayd?n). The basilica was covered with
the magnificient dome 55.60 m high and 30.80 - 31.88 m in diameter, with 40
frame timbers and 107 pillars.
In 1453, with the conquest of Istanbul, Sultan Mehmed the Conqueror
converted the church into a mosque. To strengthen the building architect
Sinan did significant work in Hagia Sophia in the Turkish period. During the
reign of Sultan Abdulmecid (1839 - 1861) de Fossati brothers made various
restorations in the building. Hagia Sophia Museum, the legacy of both
Christian and Muslim culture, was opened for visits according to the order
of Ataturk and decision of the Turkish Assembly of Ministers on the 1st of
February, 1935.
The Hagia Sophia Museum was included in the list of UNESCO List of World
Heritage.
