Chora Museum – Kariye (Chora) Museum originally formed the center of a byzantine monastery complex. Only the church section, which was dedicated to Jesus Christ the Saviour, has survived. After the arrival of the Turks in Istanbul, this building, like the Hagia Sophia was converted into a mosque. In 1948 it was made a museum leaving no Islamic element in the building except the 19C minaret outside in the corner.
St. Sophia – The Emperor Justinian built St. Sophia when Istanbul was Constantinople. This magnificent example of Byzantine architecture boasts a massive done, a lengthy nave, and an interior decorated with marble, precious stones, and pillars from Ephesus. Blue Mosque – Six graceful minarets adorn the elegant mosque, one of the city’s most recognized landmarks. The superb interior is decorated with more than 20,000 blue Iznik tiles.
