The Hagia Sophia was built during the reign of Justinian the Great as the largest of 25 new cathedrals built during his rule. It was built in just five years, between 532 and 537, and for centuries it was the largest building in the Western world. It shows both Roman and Eastern influences, and while the outside is plain to symbolize earthly life, the interior is ornate to symbolize the spiritual universe. During the Nika Riots, it was burned down, but rebuilt.
What happened in Constantinople in 532 AD?
In 532 AD, Constantinople experienced the Nika Riots, a major uprising against Emperor Justinian I. The riots began during chariot races at the Hippodrome, fueled by political and social tensions, and escalated into widespread violence, leading to the destruction of significant parts of the city. Justinian considered fleeing but ultimately decided to suppress the rebellion, resulting in a brutal crackdown that left thousands dead. The aftermath solidified his power and led to extensive rebuilding efforts, including the construction of the Hagia Sophia.
Was Justinian justified in his treatment of rebels during the Nike riots?
There is no record of how Justinian justified his treatment of the rioters. He might not have needed any. It was repression with the use of brutality. The repression continued with the execution or exile of the senators who supported the riots. Fear was probably enough. Probably the riots had gone too far as much of the city was destroyed. Justinian rebuilt the city and the city's main church, the Hagia Sophia, which was rebuilt in a very innovative way and was much admired.

To restore the city and assert his authority, Justinian embarked on an ambitious building campaign, leading to the construction of iconic structures such as the Hagia Sophia and extensive improvements in infrastructure, including roads, aqueducts, and fortifications.
