Ayasofya at sunset
In the history of architecture, the 1500 year old Hagia Sophia (Ayasofya) looms large as one of the most amazing buildings in the world. When it was completed in AD 537 it was the world's largest interior space and was only surpassed a thousand years later with the construction of the Cather
dral of Seville in the 16th century. It was the first use of triangular pendentives at the four corners to support the weight of the dome. The Bosphorus Strait and Anatolia are in the background. Istanbul, Turkey.
