Byzantine architecture was an eclectic architectural style. Its combination of the basilica and symmetrical central-plan (circular or polygonal) religious structures resulted in the characteristic Byzantine Greek-cross-plan church, with a square central mass and four arms of equal length. Byzantine architecture dramatically influenced the later medieval architecture throughout Europe and the Near East and became the primary progenitor of the Renaissance and Ottoman architectural traditions that followed its collapse.

Hagia Sophia

As the most famous example of Byzantine architecture, Hagia Sophia, officially the Hagia Sophia Grand Mosque, is a mosque and an essential cultural and historical site in Istanbul, Turkey. Originally a Greek Orthodox church, the site has changed between being a mosque and a museum since the fall of the Byzantine Empire.
