The Hagia Sophia. Part 4 - The Mosaics

Описание к видео The Hagia Sophia. Part 4 - The Mosaics

The Hagia Sophia is the most important Byzantine building and so it will take 5 videos to do it justice. This is part 4 where we look at the Byzantine mosaics which light up the building.

This video is part of a series - 'The History of Byzantium goes to Istanbul.' In 2018 the listeners of the podcast funded a Kickstarter to send me to Istanbul. I documented many of the surviving Byzantine sites and have made videos about them.

I am now able to offer tours to Istanbul (and beyond) for listeners of the podcast. Email me if you'd like to know more (thehistoryofbyzantium at gmail.com).

'The History of Byzantium' is a podcast telling the story of the Roman Empire from 476 AD to 1453. The podcast home page is here https://thehistoryofbyzantium.com/ and you can support the show at   / historyofbyzantium
