ST CHORA , KARIYE MUSEUM
The Chora Church (Turkish "Kariye Müzesi", "Kariye Camii", or "Kariye Kilisesi" — the "Chora Museum, Mosque or Church") is considered to be one of the most beautiful examples of a Byzantine church. The church is situated in the western, Edirnekapı district of Istanbul. In the 16th century, the church was converted into a mosque by the Ottoman rulers, and it became a secularised museum in 1948. The interior of the building is covered with fine mosaics and frescoes.
