Church in Ravenna Italy

Most people visit the central Italian city of Ravenna for its superb Byzantine mosaics A thriving seaport in ancient times rose to power in the 1st century BC under the Emperor Augustus. The town converted to Christianity very early, in the 2nd century AD. As Rome's power declined, Ravenna took over as capital of the Western Empire (402 AD). Ravenna's exquisite early Christian mosaics span the years of Roman, Ostrogothic and Byzantine rule. Today, Ravenna is a very pleasant town much like other Italian cities, with old streets, fine shops and peaceful squares, but the Byzantine domes of its churches still evoke its Eastern heritage.

Details of Saint Marks Basilica in Venice, Italy

Saint Marks Basilica is a monument made unique by both its wealth of history and the magnificence of its faÃ§ade and interior. It is a splendid workshop, where, through the centuries, worked great Italian and European artists.

Hagia Sophia, Istanbul, Turkey

Hagia Sophia (Greek: á¼‰Î³Î¯Î± Î£Î¿Ï†Î¯Î±; Holy Wisdom, Turkish: Ayasofya) is a former patriarchal basilica, later a mosque, now a museum, in Istanbul, Turkey. Famous in particular for its massive dome, it is considered the epitome of Byzantine architecture. It was the largest cathedral in the world for nearly a thousand years, until the completion of the Medieval Seville Cathedral in 1520. The current building was originally constructed as a church between 532 and 537 AD on the orders of the Byzantine Emperor Justinian, It contained a large collection of holy relics and featured, among other things, a 50 ft (15 m) silver iconostasis. It was the patriarchal church of the Patriarch of Constantinople and the religious focus point of the Eastern Orthodox Church for nearly 1000 years. In 1453, Constantinople was conquered by the Ottoman Turks and Sultan Mehmed II ordered the building to be converted into a mosque. The bells, altar, iconostasis, and sacrificial vessels were removed, and many of the mosaics were eventually plastered over. The Islamic features - such as the mihrab, the minbar, and the four minarets outside - were added over the course of its history under the Ottomans. It remained as a mosque until 1935, when it was converted into a museum by the secular Republic of Turkey. The historic areas of Istanbul were added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1985.
