About Little Aya Sofya
Before Emperor Justinian constructed the Aya Sofya, he needed to test the building architecture. So, he manufactured this smaller than usual form first. Its original name was the Church of Sergius and Bacchus, but the obvious architectural parallels with the Aya Sofya led to its long-held nickname becoming the building's official title.
In the Ottoman period, the Church was changed into a mosque, and it continues to be a working mosque today. Although its proportions aren't as grandiose as others in Istanbul, the building has been beautifully restored and is well worth a visit. A stroll here, down the tall Ottoman period structures - some sumptuously reestablished and others squeaking their way into decrepitude - is a quiet relief from the bustling Blue Mosque.
