Question

A Baroque-era four-tiered bell tower for a building dedicated to this figure has a blue facade adorned with floral stucco ornaments. The Virgin Orans mosaic resides on the “Indestructible Wall” of a building dedicated to this figure in Kyiv, whose teal cupolas were added in Ivan Mazeppa’s (-5[1])restorations. Visitors compared the Proconnesian marble (-5[1])floor of a church dedicated to this figure (-5[2])to the moving water of the sea. Black-winged (*) seraphim adorn the four triangular supports of a church dedicated to this figure, which are needed because its circular dome sits over a square space. Isidorus of Miletus (10[1])designed that building dedicated to this (10[1])figure, which later had (10[1])minarets added under (10[2])Mimar (10[1])Sinan. (-5[1])For 10 points, name this feminine (10[1])personification (10[1])of divine wisdom, (10[2])the dedicatee of a Byzantine church-turned-mosque (10[3])in Istanbul. ■END■ (10[3])

ANSWER: Saint Sophia [accept Hagia Sophia or Ayasofya; accept Holy Wisdom until “wisdom” is read] (The first two clues are about St. Sophia’s Cathedral in Kyiv.)
