La grandiosa Santa Sofia è uno dei monumenti culturalmente più significativi della città di Istanbul. Riconosciuta come patrimonio mondiale dell'UNESCO, Santa Sofia ha attraversato secoli, imperi e disastri per raccontare il tempo. Questo punto di riferimento fu inizialmente costruito come chiesa, per servire come punto di culto centrale per il mondo cristiano sotto l'Impero Romano d'Oriente. Sebbene sia stata successivamente convertita in moschea, in museo e ora di nuovo in moschea, la Chiesa di Santa Sofia ha una ricca storia alle spalle.Santa Sofia era inizialmente conosciuta come Magna Ecclesia (che significa Grande Chiesa) per le sue dimensioni considerevoli. Ha più di 14 secoli e fu consacrata per la prima volta nel 360 d.C. dal vescovo Eudossio di Antiochia durante il regno di Costanzo II. Tutte le parti del grande impero bizantino ebbero un ruolo nella costruzione della chiesa. Il marmo verde dell'Egitto, la pietra gialla della Siria e la pietra nera della regione del Bosforo. Durante la sua costruzione, Santa Sofia fu distrutta due volte: prima durante le rivolte del 404 d.C. e poi di nuovo nel 532 d.C. durante la Rivolta di Nika. Le colonne del Tempio di Artemide furono utilizzate per potenziare e abbellire gli interni di Santa Sofia. Ci sono voluti 10.000 operai solo per completare la costruzione della cupola di Santa Sofia.

Beautiful shot of a unique monument in the world... I miss Istanbul... Sooner or later I will go.
Photographically speaking you managed lights and colors well, I find it just a little tilted to the right, I would correct this aspect and then it is perfect. See you soon and congratulations again Dante!

Hi Nordend, I really did a jostling for this shot, too many people in those few spaces to have a discreet pdr, made on a Friday when you can only have access to the upper floor and I couldn't center it well with hands and smartphones that enter the view of the lens
In fact it is a little tilted...
Thank you for the passage and have a nice day!
Dante
