Image description

In a mosaic at the East end South gallery, the Virgin Mary and Child stand between the Emperor John II Comnenus and his wife Irene. Their son Alexios was probably a leter addition. Hagia Sophia was built in 537 as a Greek Orthodox Cathedral and converted to a mosque when the Ottoman Turks conquered Constantinople in 1453. Since 1935 it has been a museum (Unesco World Heritage List, 1985).
