Chora Church
Description
Chora Church (Kariye Muzesi) is a 4th century church which was rebuilt in the 11th century, changed into a mosque in the 16th century and became a secularized museum in 1948. This museum is a mirror to the historical and religious journey of Turkey. One of the main attractions is the 14th century mosaics and frescoes that depict scenes from the Old-New Testament. Six domes, numerous windows and arches reflect the beauty of the Byzantine architecture.
