Mosaic of Leo VI from the Narthex of Hagia Sophia

This mosaic stands above the main Imperial door from the inner narthex into the sanctuary of Hagia Sophia.  Leo was married too many times and this mosaic was a result of his problems with the Church.

The Church of Theotokos Pammakaristos

See the beautiful mosaics and learn about this Byzantine Church with its jewel like chapel.
