A really "untouched" Orthodox church. This is a sign of civilization . All is respecting the art! Even if all the writings and gospels are lost, we can recover them from the frescoes.
A church that was turned into a mosque and doesn’t receive many visitors.
For me, if you visit Istanbul, you shouldn’t miss it—no matter what your beliefs are.
It’s located high on a hill, 15 minutes by bus from the Galata Bridge.
