Overview Overview

Today, Chora Church, also known as Chora Museum, located in the Kariye district near Edirnekapı city walls on the Golden Horn, has the best examples of Byzantine mosaics and frescoes. This structure, originally a Christian church, which was converted into a mosque after the conquest of Constantinople by the Ottomans, became a museum following the proclamation of the Republic. The church was built in the area outside the first walls of Constantinople at the beginning of the 5th century, as can be understood from the Greek name Chora, which means "rural".
