Mosaics in Hagia Sofia

Some examples of the magnificent mosaics decorating the Hagia Sofia, really personifying the regal origins of the church.

The three top photos are all of mosaics in the upper gallery.







This is the Pantocrator, over the main imperial door from the side gallery to the hall.



Mary with her son, in the vault high above the altar.
