Recently we have been playing a game called Civilization IV which is a history game which involves lots of world wonders. I saw one called the Hagia Sophia and decided to research it. Here are my results.
The Hagia Sophia is the mother church of Eastern Christianity . It was also known as Holy Wisdom. It is one of the Eight Wonders Of The World. It is located in Istanbul. It is currently a museum. Hagia Sophia means Divine Wisdom. There was three Hagia Sophias and the first two were burned to the ground. The third still survives today.
Here's a picture of Hagia Sophia and its impressive fountains
