Well, it's certainly not stupid in my book, as I had no idea what the answer was.

Some research indicates that the Church has been repeatedly enlarged and expanded, most importantly in the 1200s. As I find no evidence that the building was ever razed, as compared to the first and second Hagia Sophia, I'd imagine that there is at least some portion of the building that utilizes the original structure.

Apparently, the only existing depiction of the original Abbey is a part of the Bayeux Tapestry.
