About St. Sophia has been an inspiration for Ottoman mosques thought in idea, and is reviewed as a product of east-west synthesis. St. Sophia served for 916 years as church and 481 years as mosque since its year of construction. Recently, St. Sophia was turned into a museum in 1935.
Byzantine historians Theophanes, Nikephoros and Gramercy Leon claim that St. Sophia was originally built during the period of Emperor I. Konstantinos (324-337). At that time, St. Sophia which had a Basilica planned, wooden domed structure, was burned in a fire and Emperor II. Thedosius re-commissioned St. Sophia for the second time and it was reopened for service in 415. However, St. Sophia burned one more time in 532 during the Nika revolution and rebuilt for the third time by Emperor Justinianus (527-565). When Isidoros of Miletus and Anthemious of Tralles, the most famous architects of the period were building the St. Sophia which survived until today, they used the columns, column heads, marbles and color stones of the antic city remains of Anatolia.
The construction of St. Sophia began in 23 December 532 and it was completed in 27 December 537.

What I have appreciated, by visiting Sainte Sophie, is that during the period when it was a mosque, icons and magnificent religious pictures and mosaics of the Christian period were not destroyed or erased, but simply covered with a coat of plaster, one rediscovers them now.... A lesson of tolerance and respect for the culture ....:-)

Wow, Hayri, you let me always dream.

I can't forget my trip in Instanbul and this church-Mosque is something unique. A perfect equilibry and colours, with the sky, flowers and the rose of the building.
