The Hagia Sophia is considered earthquake-resistant due to its innovative architectural design, which includes a large dome supported by a series of arches and buttresses that distribute weight effectively. Its construction utilized flexible materials, allowing it to absorb seismic forces. Additionally, extensive renovations and reinforcements over the centuries have helped enhance its stability against earthquakes. These factors combined contribute to its resilience in the face of seismic activity.
