The Hagia Sophia is a mosque and a historical site in Istanbul, Turkey. It was originally built as a church in the 6th century AD and it was the largest cathedral in the world for nearly a thousand years. In 1453, the Ottoman Empire conquered Constantinople, and the Hagia Sophia was converted into a mosque. It remained a mosque for nearly 500 years, until it was secularized in 1934 and served as a museum for 80 years. In 2020, the Turkish government reconverted the Hagia Sophia into a mosque. Despite the changes in its function over the centuries, the Hagia Sophia remains one of the most important religious and cultural sites in the world. It is a testament to the rich and diverse history of Istanbul and the region. Swift's study on the art and architecture of the Byzantium cathedral. Illustrated with 8 drawings and numerous black and white photographs. New York: Columbia University, 1940. Hardcover. 265 pages. Hint of rubbing to the corners, stamp identifying the book as a review copy on FFE, no slipcase. Very Good.
