the Hagia Sophia in Istanbul (historically Constantinople), Turkey, was built in 532 and still stands today as an engineering marvel. the enormous weight of the dome roof is supported by 4 pendentives which then transfer the force downwards. the third picture shows a simple view of how this works.

Pendentive
The Papal Basilica of St Peter, Vatican City, 1626
The largest interior of any Christian church in the world, the curved triangular pendentives supporting the large dome mass.
Byzantine form
The Byzantine Empires distinct artistic and cultural entity emerged around AD330 from what is referred to today as the Roman empire, The new Roman emperor Constantine moved the empires capital from Rome to Byzantine “New Rome”, later named Constantinople and what is known today as Istanbul.
Early Byzantine architecture was a continuation of Romanesque architecture, but a stylistic drift, political change and technological advances meant a gradual distinction, geometric complexity, brick and plaster were used as well as stone, mosaics replaced carved decoration.
One of the big architectural breakthroughs occurred when architects created a smooth transition from the square plan of the church to the circular domes, known as squinches or pendentives.
Squinches were an earlier form, in essences creating smaller arches between the circular dome and square plans to create less of an angle and a more circular appearance but also to support more of the dome.
A more complex but elegant solution known as the Pendentive, was to have the circular dome sit on spherical triangular sections that came up from the supporting corner emanating up to then support the base of the dome.
