The entrance hall is a portal hall with the entrance hall. The entrance hall is a portal hall with the vaulted entrance hall. The entrance hall is a portal to the emperor's door of the main hall.

The most eye-catching thing is the mosaic collage of "Jesus Gives Peace" above the door. The mosaic of Hagia Sophia has been covered for more than 400 years and was not able to see the light of day again until it was converted into a museum in 1935. In this painting, Christ is sitting on the throne, with the gesture of his right hand as a blessing, and the Gospels in his left hand.

It is written in Greek: Give you peace, and clouds fall are the light of the world. On both sides of Christ are the Virgin and the Archangel, and on the ground are the Byzantine Emperor Leo VI. This 9th-century work is intended to show that the ruler of the Byzantine Empire is the agent of Christ in the secular world.

The central hall has a huge dome with a diameter of 33 meters and a top of 55 meters above the ground, but it seems that there is no support for any pillars. In fact, it is supported by 40 huge pillars below it.

These pillars are cleverly hidden in the inner wall. Yun Luo had the honor of watching a documentary on Central Station 9, which specifically introduced the supporting role of these pillars using the principles of mechanics, reflecting the extraordinary creativity of the physicist Isidor of Milidu and the mathematician Antimos of Trales.

Standing under the huge dome, it gives people the feeling of a vast sky covering the world. It is said that the designer hopes that people look up to the sacredness and beauty of the heavens. Unfortunately, the scaffoldings that were repaired affected the beauty of the hall and the photography of tourists. It was very unsightly.

Later I learned that this scaffolding had existed for more than 20 years. In 1985, the Istanbul Cultural District where Hagia Sophia Cathedral was located was rated as a "World Cultural Heritage Site". In 1993, a UNESCO delegation pointed out that the maintenance of Hagia Sophia Cathedral was not in place.

In the same year, the museum built a renovation scaffolding under its dome. This "temporary" building has always existed in the museum. From 1996 to 1998, the Aya Sofia Museum was also selected as its top 100 endangered heritage by the World Cultural Heritage Foundation. Today, the Aya Sofia Museum welcomes about 2.5 million foreign tourists every year.

With Istanbul being elected as the European cultural capital in 2010, the restoration of Hagia Sophia Cathedral has been put on the agenda. The removal of the 160-ton scaffolding seems to be just around the corner. I hope that when my friends in the future will be demolished, giving this magnificent hall a clean and refreshing environment.
