The church was built in a Byzantine style reminiscent of the church of Hagia Sophia in Istanbul.[2][3][4] The decoration of the half-dome behind the high altar is a copy of the twelfth- or thirteenth-century mosaic in the apse of the Basilica of San Clemente al Laterano in Rome. The ground to begin building the church was broken on March 19, 1917.[5]
