Extractions: Hagia Sophia (Kirche der Heiligen Weisheit) wurde in Konstantinopel gebaut (jetzt Istanbul) zwischen 532 und 537 unter den Auspizien von Kaiser Justinian I. Innovatorische byzantinische Technologie erlaubte den Architekten Anthemius von Tralles und Isidore von Miletus, eine Basilika mit einer riesigen Kuppel über einem offenen, quadratischen Raum zu entwerfen. Die originale Kuppel stürzte nach einem Erdbeben ein und wurde im Jahre 563 ersetzt. Die Kirche wurde eine Moschee nach der osmanischen Eroberung von 1453, und ist jetzt ein Museum. Gebaut zwischen A.D. 526 und 547, ist die Kirche von San Vitale eines der schönsten Beispielen byzantinischer Architektur. Kaiser Justinian I, Herrscher des byzantinischen Reiches von 527 bis 565, baute San Vitale in seiner italienischen Hochburg bei Ravenna, als er seine byzantinische Herrschaft nach Westeuropa ausdehnte. Der Entwurf der Kirche, besonders sein kuppelförmiges, zentralisiertes, achteckiges Innere, stammt aus früherer byzantinischer Architektur in Konstantinopel, der Hauptstadt des Reiches. Schöne Mosaike innerhalb der Kirche feiern verschiedene geistige und weltliche Themen, einschließlich Justinian und der Restes des byzantinischen Hofes. (Scala/Art Resource, NY)

Extractions: THE CHURCH OF PANAGlA MOUCHLIOTlSSA THE MONASTERY OF THE HOLY SAVIOR IN CHORA The church of The Holy Savior in Chora is the most important monument of the Palaeologan age. Its unique iconographic programme, the quality and beauty of the mosaics and wall paintings, make it one of the outstanding masterpieces of Byzantine art. The origin of the monument cannot be traced with certainty. The earliest reference is found in the Synaxarion (Legendary) of 4 September by Symeon Metaphrastes, according to which the relics of St. Babylas who was martyred in 298, were removed from the Golden Horn to the northwest part of the City, at a place outside the walls, where there is a monastery called Chora. An anonymous 9th century biographer assigns the foundation of the monastery to St. Theodore, uncle of the Empress Theodora, whom Justinian had called to Constantinople to help the Church in the struggle against the sect of the Theopaschites (536). Theodore settled outside the walls at Chora, where there was a small church and a group of cells. With the assistance of the Emperor and Empress, Theodore founded the monastery. Destroyed by an earthquake in 557, it was rebuilt by Justinian, this time larger, with a domed church revetted in marble, consecrated to the Holy Virgin. At the same time were built three parecclesia, dedicated to St. Anthemius, the Forty Martyrs of Sebaste and the Archangel Michael, and also a bath and a hospice, i.e. a wholecomplex of buildings (Gedeon).
