The "Church of Holy Wisdom", also called Agia Sophia, is in Constantinople – now Istanbul. It was built by the emperor Justinian after the riots of AD 532. Anthemios and Isidoros were two of the Greek architects who designed it. It took six years to build and about ten thousand men worked on it. The first stone of the foundations was laid by the emperor himself. The building had brick walls, marble linings inside, amazing mosaics made up of tiny cubes of coloured glass, marble or gold and massive marble pillars. Of all its fascinating features though, perhaps the most remarkable is its huge, shallow dome, supported on piers made of limestone. There are also smaller half-domes around the largest, supported by arches - a typical feature of Byzantine design for big buildings. Agia Sophia is well over 45m high and over 60m long and wide. Today we are accustomed to seeing buildings as large as this, sometimes even larger. But in Justinian’s time, Agia Sophia must have been truly awe-inspiring. |
The famous Leaning Tower of Pisa is the bell tower of the cathedral in the city of Pisa, in Italy. Its height is 55.8m, it has 8 storeys and there are 294 steps to the top. Construction began in 1173 and it took 200 years to complete. The architect’s identity is still unknown, but we do know that he designed the tower to be vertical. After the third floor was built, the tower started to lean, mainly because its foundation was shallow – only 3 metres – and in weak soil. The Pisans stopped construction twice – for almost 100 years each time – because they were busy fighting battles with other Italian cities! In 1372, the tower was completed and seven bells were installed, one for each note of the musical scale. Over the years, there have been many attempts to straighten it, or halt the leaning. This was not as easy as it seemed. Some of those attempts had exactly the opposite result: the tower sank even further into the soil! The latest attempt was completed in 2001 and took ten years. The tower has been declared stable for at least another 300 years. |
