The Hagia Sophia is a wonder in Civilization: Call to Power. It doubles the effects of Temples and Cathedrals and provides extra gold from converted cities, and becomes obsolete with Mass Production.
Gameplay[]
The Hagia Sophia increases the power of the Theocracy by doubling the foreign tithes of converted cities and doubling the effects of both Temples and Cathedrals. This Wonder's fusion of East and West underscores the power of religious faith.
Great Library entry[]
The Hagia Sophia of Istanbul is said to be of all religions. Constantine, the Roman Emperor and founder of the city, erected the original church on the site of a pagan temple in 325 AD. Not baptized until on his death bed, Constantine himself was pagan, which may explain the rather non-sectarian name, Hagia Sophia, meaning "Holy Wisdom." In 1453 conquering Turks converted the Hagia Sophia into a mosque. So it remained until 1935 when it was secularized and opened to people of all faiths as a museum.
