A word to the wise? If you ever find yourself in Istanbul, pay a visit to the capital district so you might watch the setting sun fall below the Hagia Sophia. Meaning “high wisdom,” this Wonder was built in 530 AD as a Greek Orthodox church and has remained in continuous service for nearly 1500 years. Its ornate and iconic design fuzes stone and marble, topped with a golden dome running 30 meters (100 feet) across. The engineering achievements of this glorious complex were nothing short of unprecedented at the time, and it still stands as one of the most beautiful buildings ever constructed. The Hagia Sophia will grant a significant religious advantage in both Civ V and VI. The faith bonus and other benefits gained from building it rapidly establish your religion’s influence throughout the world. If you’re planning for a Religious Victory, make sure you secure this miraculous place of worship early on. Its alluring presence will be the envy of your rivals. #civilization #hagiasophia ...
