Magnaura
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Magnaura (Medieval Greek: Μαγναύρα, possibly from Latin: Magna Aula, "Great Hall"[1]) was a large building in Byzantine Constantinople located next to the Great Palace.[2] It was situated to the east of the Augustaion, close to the Hagia Sophia, and next to the Chalke Gate[3] and has often equated by scholars with the building that housed the Senate.[4]
