hagia sophia

Lovely spanish neighbours' son was trying to select the best seashell he has and we were trying to help him. The house has great historical pennisula view of Istanbul with Santa Sophia. The emperor, together with the patriarch Eutychius, inaugurated the new basilica on 27 December 537 . The original building was constructed by the most important architects of the period (527-565), Anthemios (Tralles) and Isidoros (Miletus), under the order of Emperor Justinianos. It means while we were selecting best seashell Santa Sophia has been standing there almost over 1475 years.
