Your friend Ira describes Hagia Sofia to you in great detail. It combines the structure of the earlier basilicas with a huge dome over the nave. Half domes at each end transform the once long, rectangular nave into an oval. The mosaics in this cathedral-turned-mosque once included depictions of Jesus, the Virgin Mary, saints, angels, and emperors. He asks you what type of architecture this is. What type of architecture would you MOST LIKELY conclude this is?
