Istanbul

High angle view of interior and domes showing Islamic elements in the ceiling, and the mirhab below, Hagia 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 Emperor 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.
