You can find Byzantine mosaics in Hagia Sophia (Ayasofa Museum) in Istanbul, turkey. Hagia Sophia used to be a patriarchal basilica but later on, it was used as a mosque.

For thousands of years, it was recognized as the biggest cathedral all throughout the world but in 1520, Seville Cathedral was proclaimed the largest.
