heal.abstract	The chemical and mechanical properties of mortars and bricks were studied using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, differential thermal analysis and transmission electron microscopy to prove that the earthquake worthiness of Hagia sophia is strongly dependent on the properties of mortars and bricks used in its masonry. The mortars showed considerable mechanical strength along with longevity. It showed strong resistance to the environmental pollution and to the presence of salt, while the gel phase as binder allowed for greater energy absorption and the compatibility of the mortar to the original ones allowed continuous stresses and strains.	en
