Description
Interior view of the Hagia Sophia in Istanbul from the balcony, with two domes above, crowd of worshippers on the carpet below, and entrance in background. Tinted lithograph with hand-coloring, 1852. Louis Haghe (1806-1885), lithographer; Gaspare Fossati (1809-1883), artist. Built in 537 as the patriarchal cathedral of the imperial capital of Constantinople, the Hagia Sophia was the largest Christian church of the eastern Roman Empire (the Byzantine Empire) and the Eastern Orthodox Church, except during the Latin Empire from 1204 to 1261, when it became the city's Roman Catholic cathedral. In 1453, after the Fall of Constantinople to the Ottoman Empire, it was converted into a mosque. In 1935 the secular Turkish Republic established it as a museum. In 2020, it re-opened as a mosque.
