Little Hagia Sophia

Once the 6th-century Church of Sergius and Bacchus

The Church of Saints Sergius and Bacchus was built in 527–536 under Justinian I, shortly before Hagia Sophia. It became a mosque in the early 16th century, and the octagonal domed hall of the Byzantine church survives to this day.
