Description:
|
10th century mosaic mural above the inner door of the museum exit: Virgin Mary, seated on a throne with the infant Jesus in her arms. Emperor Constantine the Great is at her left, presenting them with a model representing the city and the Emperor Justinian at the right, with a model of the Haghia Sophia. The mural pictures the Virgin Mary as the supreme saint of the city.
A mirror has been placed above the current exit to alert you to the mosaic behind you.
