Hagia Sophia, Constantinople.
The Church of God's Holy Wisdom ✝️

Designed by Greek architects Isidore of Miletus and Anthemius of Tralles as the Christian Cathedral of the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople.
As Greek Orthodox was the official religion of the Byzantines, the Hagia Sophia was considered the central church of the faith, and it thus became the place where new emperors were crowned.
