Hagia Sophia's Dome: How Byzantine Engineering Defied the Ages

7 min•28 juni 2026

In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the architectural and engineering marvel of Hagia Sophia's dome. They discuss the innovative use of pendentives, the challenges of earthquakes, the collapses and rebuildings under Anthemius and Isidorus the Younger, and the later Ottoman reinforcements by Mimar Sinan, including the buttresses and minarets. The episode also touches on the dome's symbolism as a reflection of the cosmos and divine order, and its role as a model for later Ottoman mosques.
