Great monumental church with both byzantine and ottoman elements; highlights are the nave, byzantine mosaics and the ablutions fountain;
DO NOT Miss it !!! Great Historical Mosque / Church !!! I love visiting this place every time I visit Istanbul ❤❤
From Orthodox church to Latin cathedral, to mosque and eventually as a museum the diamond of Isidoros and Anthemius still stands today as a brilliant showcase of architecture. Absolutely breathtaking
a Must to See so beautiful and very impressing is Chora Church💒
Beautiful little church away from all the tourist attractions in Istanbul. Great examples of Byzantine art and mosaics. It's very tiny though; only three rooms to tour during renovations.
A MUST SEE ORTHODOX CHURCH !
It is so old Bulgarian Orthodox Church! After restoration getting more beautiful ! Just curious about the sign on the gates! Interesting Masonic signs everywhere !
Amazing church !
First church of Istanbul.
Fotograf çekmenin telsiz kulaklıklı sevimsiz adamın insafına kaldığı güzel ama garip mekan. Adamın egosu hat safhada kendini piskopos filan sanıyor herhalde...
Güzel bir bahçe, minik ama detaylı ikonalara sahip bir kilise. Beyazlar içindeki Meryem Ana buranın en değerli parçası.
Beautiful little church built by Justinian just before work started on the Aya Sofya.
Still many parts are closed for visit. Very poor renovation. Not worth to pay 20 tl with its current condition
Good place for concert
Great location if your are seeing the Chora Church. Peacefully elegant. Not a fan of the Turkish wines but maybe it is an acquired taste.
Excellent food and service, and a welcome retreat from the busy Chora Church. Try the Seaweed. Free WiFi as well.
Had a lovely lunch in restaurant Asitane🍴there's a nice garden and it's next to the beautiful impressing Chora Church💒
Akhirnya sampai juga di masjid bekas gereja di jaman ke sultanan Al Fatih
The audio guide is a great way to learn more about the history of the building and its significance. The views from the upper gallery are breathtaking and offer a unique perspective of the city.

previous church, now mosque. very historic
You can find real Islamic knowledeges easily. Also You should visit Risalei Nur Institute, nearby. Ps: tea, hot drinks and water is free both of them :)
According to a decree from the Turkish Presidency of Religious Affairs, Mosques should remain open at all times, not just at prayer times. Tell the guard, insist.
It sucks. Unfortunately the only cafe around the Chora Church.
It's an oasis after the chora church visit. Try a turkish coffee under the trees.
you can sit outside next to the Chora church
Guzel ama keske bir ibadethane olarak daha temiz tutulsa
Bence çok güzel bir kilise daha önce hiç kiliseye gitmediyseniz açılış bu kiliseyle yapmalısınız.
Çok Büyük Bir Kilise
The church of SS.Sergius and Bacchus. After a short trip,why don’t you enjoy a drink at our Terrace Restaurant ?
Historic church discovered in Nevşehir ‘could change history of Orthodoxy’.. Nevşehir’deki Yeraltı Şehrinde 1600 Yıllık Kilise Bulundu.. Read more.
Amazing lunch, very creative menu. Perfect spot for quality, calm lunch at Sultanahmet. Terrace restaurant has the best views in summer
A magical atmosphere!
It is so majestic yet calming. Built on the site where the tomb of Constantine the great and later the Church of Justinian stood, thus symbolising a new era of sovereignty. An architectural beauty.
One of the most amazing mosques of Istanbul, with a beautiful surrounding! A must see!
Istanbul's first large mosque complex
Old İstanbul quarter Balat which one's name is coming from Palation(palace in Latin) ! The oldest sinagogs,churches of Istanbul. Neighbour with Fener where The Greek Orthodox Patriarchate is located!
everything's so stylish. you can visit churches and travel in narrow streets of old town, where greeks lived once upon a time. there you can relax in cute cafes and try casual restaurants around.
Old parts of Istanbul restored. Many snack and coffee shops interesting small roads etc. We have the time out during Sunday
