Hagia Sofia (Church of the Divine Wisdom). Vestibule of the Warriors. This Byzantine church was commissioned by Emperor Justinian and built in 537-548 CE by Anthemius of Tralles and Isidore of Miletus. It was transformed into a mosque after the conquest of Constantinople by the Ottomans, and into a museum in 1935 by Kemal Ataturk. The vestibule owes its name to the fact that the imperial guard waited for him there while he prayed.
