At present, Hagia Sophia is a museum in Istanbul since 1935 and listed as UNESCO World Heritage Site, but earlier it was “Ottoman imperial mosque” and earliest “Christian patriarchal cathedral”. Byzantine emperor/Eastern Roman emperor “Justinian I” ordered for its construction from 532-537, designed by Isidore of Miletus & Anthemius of Tralles and remarked as paragon of “Byzantine architecture”.
