it acted as a church
It was a dedication to "Logos", or Jesus Christ, the second person in the Holy Trinity. It was built in 537 under Emperor Justinian's reign. It was the first true indication of the evolution of Roman architecture, which is evident in the dome-like structure, as the Byzantines moved closer to the Medieval period. The Hagia Sophia held many important holy relics related to Jesus' and his disciples' ancient adventures told in The Bible. The place was also the first to witness the excommunication by the Pope Leo IX in 1054, the beginning of the Great Schism.
