Istanbul

Detail of Deesis mosaic, late 10th century, showing Emperor Justinian, 483-565, offering the Hagia Sophia, and Emperor Constantine, offering Constantinople, to the Virgin and Christ Child, in the vestibule of Haghia Sophia, 532-37, by Isidore of Miletus and Anthemius of Tralles, Istanbul, Turkey. Hagia Sophia, The Church of the Holy Wisdom, has been a Byzantine church and an Ottoman mosque and is now a museum. The current building, the third on the site, commissioned by Justinian I, is a very fine example of Byzantine architecture. The historical areas of the city were declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1985. Picture by Manuel Cohen.
