Architecture

125 meters above the ground there is a restaurant, buffets and champagne bar.

Its construction began between 70 and 72 AD and lasted until 80 AD.

The conquest and occupation of the city by Saladin destroyed Petra, which fell into ruin.

Hagia Sophia combines the features of a basilica - an elongated building founded on a rectangular or Latin cross plan - and a central building - based on a circular plan.

During renovation works in 2010, a group of graffiti artists climbed the monument and decorated it with various inscriptions and pictures.

Annually, it is visited by approximately 1,3 million tourists.

The construction went on for eight years, from 1792 to 1800.

Because of the extreme precision with which the structure was built, many pseudo-scientific myths have grown up around it.

The complex was built in several stages from 1709 to 1732, on land outside the perimeter of Dresden’s medieval inner fortifications.

The largest building in the Zwinger complex is the Semper Gallery - the Old Masters Picture Gallery.
