Hagia Sophia, Church building in Trabzon, Turkey.
The Hagia Sophia stands near the Black Sea with a central dome, bell tower, and four porches following Byzantine architectural principles.
Construction of this religious building took place between 1238 and 1263 during the reign of Manuel I of the Empire of Trebizond.
The interior walls display 13th-century frescoes depicting scenes from the New Testament, representing the Palaiologan Renaissance artistic period.
Visitors can reach the monument two miles from the medieval town center, with the building currently functioning as an active mosque.
The bell tower contains a small chapel on its second floor and reaches 40 meters in height, standing separately from the main structure.
