The Church of Holy Savior in Chora, Kariye Müzesi, Kariye Camii, Kariye Kilisesi, the Chora Museum, Mosque & Church, is considered to be one of the most beautiful examples of a Byzantine church. The church is situated in Istanbul, in the Edirnekapı neighborhood, which lies in the western part of the municipality, belediye, of Fatih. In the 16th century, the church was converted into a mosque by the Ottoman rulers, and it became a secularized museum in 1948. The interior of the building is covered with fine mosaics and frescoes. Stunning place.
