Hagia Sophia (Church of the Divine Wisdom) This church is said to be one of the best examples of Byzantine Architecture. Exterior of Hagia Sophia Interior Dome of Sophia Hagia

Basilica of San Vitale The Basilica, or church, is one of the only major church from the rule of Justinian to survive intact. The church is octagonal shaped and contains elements of Roman and Byzantine architecture. The interior is wonderfully decorated with colorful mosaics.

Dome of the Rock The Dome of the Rock is an Islamic shrine located on the Temple Mount in the Old City of Jerusalem. The dome is made of aluminum bronze plates covered with gold leaf. It took seven years to cover the exterior of the Dome of the Rock with tiles.
