Frage 9

Which great church was built in the Byzantine capital during Justinian's reign?

  1. The domed church of Hagia SophiaRichtige Antwort
  2. Saint Peter's basilica in Rome
  3. A cathedral in the later western style of northern France
  4. The palace chapel at Aachen

Erklärung

The building meant here was raised in the eastern capital in the sixth century, and its enormous central dome, carried on arches over a wide open space, set the pattern for eastern church building afterwards. A cathedral of the later western styles fails because those buildings appeared in western Europe some six hundred years afterwards and were never roofed by a single vast dome.
