 Hagia Sophia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hagia Sophia Church Also known as, Mosque of Holy Wisdom.
The Church of the Holy Wisdom, commonly known as Hagia Sophia in English, is a former Eastern Orthodox church converted to a mosque, now converted into a museum, in Istanbul (Constantinople).
In particular much controversy rests upon whether the Islamic calligraphy on the dome of the cathedral should be removed, in order to permit the underlying Pantocrator mosaic of Christ as Master of the World, to be exhibited (assuming the mosaic still exists).

 Roman Emperors - DIR Sophia
Sophia herself was able to negotiate first a one-year and then a three-year truce with Persia,[[46]] but under these circumstances it was natural that, like Ariadne at Zeno's death, she should be consulted by the senate and asked to give her views on possible successors to Justin.
In their earlier years, Sophia and Justin, like so many of Theodora's family, were seen as inclining towards the monophysite heresy, and John of Ephesus depicts Sophia as a champion of monophysitism until the 560s, when she found it politic to adopt an orthodox stance in religion.

But by far the most remarkable element in this film is the breathtaking actress Sophia Myles, who--in the role of a lifetime--plays "the fair Isolde" so perfectly that she seems to have been born for the part.

ne of the greatest monuments of Byzantium, Hagia Sophia was built in the 6th century, but its exterior does not exhibit the characteristics of that century.
ince it was used as a mosque for almost five hundred years after 1453, Islamic structures such as the minarets built on the corners of the main edifice, the fountain (sadirvan), mausoleum (turbe), and soup-kitchen (imare) etc. give Hagia Sophia a mosque-like appearance.
