Little Hagia Sophia - Küçuk Ayasofya Camii

Little Hagia Sophia was dedicated to the saints Sergius and Bacchus, third century roman soldiers, who are commemorated as martyrs. The church was made between 527-536, just before the erection of Hagia Sophia between 532-537. In fact the church was a model for the great Hagia Sophia. We can see the Marmara walls and the sea, from which the church is now separated by the railway line and the coastal road.
