The Hagia Sophia has been built, rebuilt, repaired, and renovated. The current structure by that name was built very quickly for a structure of that time and size- 5 years, 10 months, and 4 days. Later work was done to repair earthquake damage, and modifications to become a mosque.
At first when it was built it displayed the style of the Western Roman Empire, and the blocks were from Egypt and Italy but then by the 9th century the church showed the Greek influences of the eastern Roman Empire. That’s cultural diffusion. ❤️

Istanbul, originally known as Byzantium, has a history that spans thousands of years, with its establishment dating back to around 660 BCE. The city underwent significant transformations over the centuries, especially during the Roman, Byzantine, and Ottoman periods. Major construction projects, such as the Hagia Sophia and the Topkapi Palace, took years to complete, reflecting the city's evolving architecture and culture. Therefore, rather than a specific duration for its "building," Istanbul's development is a continuous process shaped by various civilizations over millennia.
Oh not that long, a couple of hours! Thanks for asking!
