Abstract

The church of Hagia Sophia – from the Greek: □γία Σοϕία, “Holy Wisdom” – built on the orders of Emperor Justinianis from 532 to 537 (AD) is the most important building of an era which is generally characterised as the decline of the ancient world and the beginning of the mediaeval times. The building is well considered to be one of the most outstanding masterpieces of architecture in the world having an extensive influence on European and islamic architecture in general.
