  • English: The Hagia Sophia (Greek: Holy Wisdom) is a former patriarchal basilica, later a mosque, now a museum, in Istanbul, Turkey. Famous in particular for its massive dome, it is considered the epitome of Byzantine architecture and one of the most beautiful buildings in the world. It was the largest cathedral in the world for nearly a thousand years, until the completion of the medieval Seville Cathedral in 1520.
  • Ελληνικά: Η Αγία Σοφία (επίσης Αγια-Σοφιά), Ιερός Ναός της του Θεού Σοφίας, της Κωνσταντινούπολης είναι ένας πρώην Ορθόδοξος ναός, κατά πολλούς ο σημαντικότερος όλων των εποχών και τόπων και μέγα αριστούργημα της χριστιανικής αρχιτεκτονικής. Μετά την πτώση της Βυζαντινής Αυτοκρατορίας ο ναός μετατράπηκε αρχικά σε Μουσουλμανικό τέμενος, ενώ σήμερα είναι μουσείο και χώρος πολιτιστικών εκδηλώσεων. Η Αγία Σοφία θεωρείται σήμερα ένα από τα σημαντικότερα μνημεία της παγκόσμιας κληρονομιάς και θαύμα της αρχιτεκτονικής. Στα Τουρκικά προφέρεται κατά την ελληνική δημώδη ονομασία της Ayasofya (Τζαμισί).
  • Türkçe: Ayasofya, Bizans İmparatoru I. Jüstinyen tarafından M.S. 532 - 537 yılları arasında İstanbul'un eski şehir merkezine katedral olarak inşa ettirilen ve günümüzde müze olarak hizmet veren tarihi yapı. 1500 yıllık tarihi olan Ayasofya, sanat tarihi ve mimarlık dünyasının baş yapıtları arasında yer alır. Başlangıçta bir kilise olarak inşa edilen ve Osmanlı döneminde camiiye çevrilen Ayasofya, günümüzde bir müze olarak hizmet vermektedir ve bu sebeple Ayasofya Müzesi olarak anılmaktadır.
