This Is My Mark
Hagia Sophia (constructed 532-537) was the largest Cathedral in the world for nearly a thousand years, and subsequently one of the pre eminent mosques of the Ottoman empire after the conquest of Constantinople in 1453. A place of worship for Emperors and Sultans, it is filled with exquisite mosaics and decoration. What I find more impressive however is this simple masons mark. Hidden over a balcony it provides a direct link to the work of one man 1500 years ago. Click here for large size.
