The Hagia Sophia in Istanbul Turkey is one of the world's great structures. It is one of the wonders of the world and a really great structure because of its immense dome. It is a really stupendous monastery. It uses a complex load passage that goes from the dome to the arches and then it is transferred down to the building foundations through the columns. The dome is really old and there have been some problems. The dome has been replaced because the dome collapsed but it is still just as great.
The Hagia Sophia in Istanbul Turkey is one of the ancient world's greatest structures. The whole structure was made around the dome and four pillars. The first dome was much shallower and it was not successful. It had too much outward thrust and it collapsed. The second dome was made and it was much taller and it stayed upright even today. It is one of my favorite structures because it looks so massive. It is a monastery with the second biggest dome in the ancient structures of the world.
Now a days the Hagia Sophia is one of the greatest structures of the ancient world. It is still being used today as a Church and a museum. This building is spectacular because it has survived since the ancient world and it is still safe to go in today. When we visit Turkey it will be one of the first places we go and I can't wait for that day.
