Great vídeo and research about Hagia Sophia museum. The mosaic Jesus pantokrator, mother Mary and John the Baptist is a master piece. Congratulations Rio
Very interesting and always a pleasure to see this marvel of East-Roman architecture of which so little survived Everlasting shame on the European nations for abandoning the East Roman Empire during it’s struggle against Islam
Λεων ο σοφος has "strugled " with the church for his third and fourth marriages ,not for the sake of concupiscence, but because out of the two firsth marriages he had only one surviving daughter Anna born to Ζωη Τσαουτσινα but no male heir.Only his fourth marriage produced not only his successor Κωνσταντινος VII but the survival of the Amorid dynasty until 1056 ! Leon was a pious emperor who composed liturgical musical works and who sustained the church his life long.
@oscarsalesgirl296 Hagia Sophia is still being used both as a mosque and a museum. Like it or not, it is the reality. I agree that those discs do not blend with the other designs.
When the HS was turned into a museum the discs were going to be removed. But they are bigger than the doors! So it was decided to leave them in place rather than destroy them. With the reconversion to a mosque something similar might have been installed. By keeping them in place it does give a sense of the building as it was in the 18th and 19th centuries.

Nice
the western art critics of the 19 and 20th centuries regarded
these mosaics and their contemporary gothic art as primitive...
I don't. I regard those critics as close-minded

The giant Arabic billboards are so insulting. Completely ruin the size and scale of the building.
