Σε γενικες γραμμες μου αρεσουν οι φωτογραφιες σου.

Καλη δυναμη και καλη συνεχεια.

Εν προκειμενω, επιτρεψε μου να σημειωσω καλοπροαιρετα πως χανει λιγο στον οριζοντα και το καδρο θα μπορουσε να ειναι καλυτερο.

Sally,the main construction was buit by Galerius Emperor during 300 AD,dedicated to Zeus.At the end of fourth century AD Theodosius Emperor gave it to the Christians for use as a church.From 1590-1912 was an Othoman mosque and after 1912 to 1920 an Orthodox church and from 1920 till recent years we use it as a museum.
Now the interior is empty for recostruction.
