Hagia Sophia rises over Istanbul as a reminder of the many eras that shaped it. Built by Byzantine rulers, transformed under the Ottomans, and interpreted anew in the modern era, the building has carried many meanings without losing its sense of wonder. Its dome, mosaics, calligraphy, and stonework all speak to the people who shaped it and the faiths that met within its walls.
This study gives your student the chance to explore that story with care. They will learn how the building was engineered, why its decoration changed over time, and how its role shifted as different empires rose to power. They will read, analyze, and reflect as they consider what it means for a sacred place to hold such a layered history.
Designed for independent learners ages 12–15. Perfect for homeschool families, co-ops, hybrid programs, Islamic schools, and curious learners.
