Hagia Sophia in Constantinople
19th-century illustration, "St. Sophia, Constantinople." The Hagia Sophia, commissioned as a church in A.D. 532 by Justinian I, has been both a symbol of Byzantine Christianity and a mosque for the Muslims of the Ottoman Empire, with art and architecture that reflects its many incarnations. It is now a museum, and a prominent landmark of Istanbul, Turkey.
