Beautifully written, thank you! I remember being shown in the crypt - the same whose rare photos you posted - the opening of a tunnel; the welcoming pope hosting us explained: "They say il leads to Hagia Sophia...who knows..."
There is alway a secret tunnel to Hagia Sophia, here, in Didymoteicho, in our minds: a shortcut to beauty universally bestow. Thank you to make me remenber🌸
Enjoy😃I'm honored, you are to kind! I really like your work: it's really sagacious, careful and good humored🌹

Some have it that the Byzantine's "last stand" took place at the Panache a Mouchlotissa. Hence bloody.
Great piece.
Thank you. Yup, hence the name "bloody church" by the Turks. Its red colour also helped with that.

"A shortcut to beauty universally bestowed". Couldn't have said it better. I'll use that expression from now on.
