In the show, the legends, the traditions of the Byzantine Empire, but also the unique history of the building that withstood looting, raids and deadly earthquakes. The main milestones in the history of Justinian's magnificent building, which was associated with all the joys and sorrows of Hellenism, are presented. The "Time Machine" travels through the City on a unique temple tour, and presents in detail the places and persons who made history. The unique dome, the golden Altar that was looted by the crusaders, the mosaics of incomparable beauty that were covered with plaster by the Ottomans, but also the womanizer with the intrigues and endless power games. Where emperors were baptized, cardinals were excommunicated and Christians were slaughtered.
