==Works influenced by the Hagia Sophia== [[File:Hram Svetog Save und Hagia Sophia Überlagerunng der Pläne leg P.Cikovac.jpg|thumb|The [[Church of Saint Sava]] in [[Belgrade]] has been modelled after Hagia Sophia, using its primary square and the size of its dome.]] [[File:Interior look Church Saint Sava from western gally leg P.Cikovac.jpg|thumb|Interior of the Church of Saint Sava]] Many buildings have been modeled on the Hagia Sophia's core structure of a large central dome resting on pendentives and buttressed by two semi-domes. [[Byzantine architecture|Byzantine]] churches influenced by the Hagia Sophia include the [[Hagia Sophia, Thessaloniki|Hagia Sophia in Thessaloniki]], and the [[Hagia Irene]]. The latter was remodeled to have a dome similar to the Hagia Sophia's during the reign of Justinian. [[Neo-Byzantine]] churches modeled on the Hagia Sophia include the [[Kronstadt Naval Cathedral]], [[Holy Trinity Cathedral, Sibiu]]<ref name="Mitropoliei">{{cite web |title=Catedrala Ortodoxă: Strada Mitropoliei |language=ro |url=https://www.sibiul.ro/biserici-sibiu/catedrala-ortodoxa.html |website=sibiul.ro |access-date=5 September 2022}}</ref> and [[Poti Cathedral]]. Each closely replicates the internal geometry of the Hagia Sophia. The layout of the Kronstadt Naval Cathedral is nearly identical to the Hagia Sophia in size and geometry. Its marble revetment also mimics the style of the Hagia Sophia. The [[Catedral Metropolitana Ortodoxa]] in [[São Paulo]] and the [[Église du Saint-Esprit (Paris)]] both replace the two large [[tympanum (architecture)|tympanums]] beneath the main dome with two shallow semi-domes. Several churches combine elements of the Hagia Sophia with a Latin cross plan. For instance, the [[transept]] of the [[Cathedral Basilica of Saint Louis (St. Louis)]] is formed by two semi-domes surrounding the main dome. The church's column capitals and mosaics also emulate the style of the Hagia Sophia. Other examples include the [[Alexander Nevsky Cathedral, Sofia]], [[St Sophia's Cathedral, London]], [[Saint Clement Catholic Church, Chicago]], and the [[Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception]]. Several [[mosques commissioned by the Ottoman dynasty]] have plans based on the Hagia Sophia, including the [[Süleymaniye Mosque]] and the [[Bayezid II Mosque, Istanbul|Bayezid II Mosque]].<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Almughrabi |first1=Naser |last2=Prijotomo |first2=Josef |last3=Faqih |first3=Mohammad |date=6 June 2015 |title=SULEYMANIYE MOSQUE: SPACE CONSTRUCTION AND TECHNICAL CHALLENGES |url=https://www.researchgate.net/publication/350618031 |journal=International Journal of Education and Research |volume=3}}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal |last=Piltz |first=Elisabeth |date=2014 |title=Hagia Sophia and Ottoman architecture |journal=Byzantinoslavica - Revue internationale des Études Byzantines |volume=1-2 |pages=293–309}}</ref> Synagogues based on the Hagia Sophia include the [[Congregation Emanu-El (San Francisco)]],<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Kleinbauer |first=W.
