Today we will discuss the Hagia Sophia in Istanbul, Turkey. This roughly 1500 year old building is from a time when Istanbul was Constantinople, roughly 537. It was originally a Byzantine Roman Cathedral, to house the Holy Roman Empire, designed by a man whose work heavily influenced freemasonry, built in a design that would completely reshape what we knew at the time about architecture.
To say this is one of the most important buildings of the Old World is an understatement. This, by many historians accounts, is the key to understanding most aspects of Ancient Architecture, and how they influence modern day buildings.
Today we will discuss the epic nature of The Hagia Sophia, said to be built 532-537, while showcasing some unique photographs. At the end of the video, we will look at the oldest photographs of the Hagia Sophia I could find (from the mid to late 1800’s, and early 1900’s). We will also discuss the Hagia Sophia’s Patron Saint, the date December 25th, and some other more interesting and esoteric concepts. Enjoy!
