This was one of the most lavish churches in Constantinople! Constructed by the noblewoman Anicia Juliana it inspired the construction of the Hagia Sophia and was considered a rival to it. - This is the Church of St. Polyeuctus - It looks like it is being set up to be a proper tourist attraction which hopefully means that the site will be protected for us ll to visit in the future! - - - - - - - #history #archaeology #archaeologist #historymemes #historygram #medievalhistory #medieval #constantin
