Built in 537 as the patriarchal cathedral of the imperial capital of Constantinople, the Hagia Sophia was the largest Christian church of the eastern Roman Empire (the Byzantine Empire) and the Eastern Orthodox Church, except during the Latin Empire from 1204 to 1261, when it became the city's Roman Catholic cathedral.
