List of the places you will visit:
Tur-i Sina Church: Tur-i Sina Church. It is at Balat Mürsel Paşa Caddesi No: 134. The history of the church dates back to the first half of the 14th century. In 1593, it was in a dilapidated state and the money allocated for repairs was transferred to another church (due to changes in management). A certificate of ownership and repair was issued with an edict numbered 1623. It burned down in 1640. While the church belonged to the Parish of Alexandria in 1670, it was transferred to the Sinai Monastery upon the application of Russia in 1686. And this year it is rebuilt with the help of Russians. The church, which was ruined over time, was rebuilt by the Sinai Monastery in 1729. It was built by the Cretan Nikephoros because it burned down again in 1730. The church was repaired in 1851/1852 and 1855. It is known as a church where Tur-i Sina monks were sheltered. The church is currently affiliated with the Consulate General of Sinai (not the Patriarchate of Istanbul) and is the Metokhion of the Saint Catherine Monastery on Mount Sinai. However, in the letter dated 03.06.1986 of the Spiritual Board of Tur-i Sina Monastery Aya Yani Church, it was stated that the church was built by the order of Yavuz Sultan Selim. In addition, the hand depiction on the door is Hz. It is stated verbally that it represents the hand of Muhammad. Moreover, Islamic sources also confirm this. Saint Katerine (Tur-i Sina Monastery) Hz. It is the monastery where the prophethood was heralded and adapted to Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) as a result of the signs they saw by Pastor Bahira when he was 12 years old and by Pastor Nestura when he was 25 years old.
Church of Our Lady of the Mongols (Bloody Church): This beautiful building, known as the Church of Our Lady of the Mongols (Maria Mouchliotissa) or the Bloody Church, is one of the important churches on the list of places to visit in Balat. After the conquest of Istanbul in 1453, all domed churches in Istanbul were converted into mosques. Only the Church of Our Lady of the Mongols was not made into a mosque. The reason is an edict signed by Fatih Sultan Mehmet ordering that this church should not be touched. Upon the request of Hristodoulos, the Greek architect of Istanbul Fatih Mosque, to Fatih Sultan Mehmet, the Bloody Church was donated to Hristodoulos' mother.
Gül Mosque's original name is Hagia Theodasia Church: Gül Mosque's original name is Hagia Theodasia Church, 9th century. YY. It was built on a high pedestal and has a cross-shaped plan. This mosque near Ayakapı may be one of the most interesting mosques you can see. This mosque near Ayakapı may be one of the most interesting mosques you can see. This mosque, which was previously a church, has been used as a mosque since 1499. This structure, made of brick and stone, was built on a cellar in the shape of a Greek Cross. Although its external appearance reflects the Byzantine period, the interior reflects Ottoman architecture. You can also see traces of the baroque in the mosque. This mosque, like itself, has a different story. This building, built as a church in the 10th century, had Orthodox beliefs. This church, which served the Catholic faith for a short time after the 4th Crusade, was subjected to iconoclasm, and many statues were placed in the church at that time. At the end of the 4th Crusades, the people wanted these statues to be removed and started a rebellion. But a woman named Theodosia was killed while opposing this. The woman and some of her personal belongings are kept in the church. Then the belief that this woman healed the sick spread and she was given the title of saint. In 1453, with the conquest of Istanbul, the building was initially used as a warehouse, but after various restorations, it was converted into a mosque in 1499.
The Anemas Dungeons: The Anemas Dungeons were part of the Blachernae Palace complex. In addition to being the only remaining underground dungeon in Istanbul from the Byzantine period, it is known to have unusual features with underground tunnels, winding cisterns and extremely narrow torture chambers. The cellars and towers form a large complex. In past years, the vaulted cells called Anemas Dungeon have been the setting for historical films. One of the adjacent towers in front of the terrace on which the Ivaz Efendi Mosque, built in the late 16th century, is located, was called Anemas, and the other was called Isaak Angelos Tower. You can go down a staircase from the pit on the terrace where the Ivaz Efendi mosque was built. These dungeons can be entered through a door here. After a winding corridor, you come to the beginning of a wide corridor of 60-70 meters. Here, light shines in from the battlements on the walls and a dramatic view emerges. On this corridor, cells are lined up side by side with arched doors. This dungeon, named after "Anemas" of Arab origin, a commander who served in the Byzantine Empire, is 60 meters long and reaches up to 15 meters wide in places.
Atik Mustafa Pasha Mosque (Hazret-i Cabir Mosque) or Kristos Pantepoptes Church: Atik Mustafa Pasha Mosque (Hazret-i Cabir Mosque) or Kristos Pantepoptes Church. Atik Mustafa Pasha Mosque or Kristos Pantepoptes Church is a building dating from the Middle Byzantine period. This former Eastern Orthodox church was converted by the Ottomans and now serves as the neighborhood mosque. According to some sources, there was a "Aya Tekla Church" dating back to the 9th century on the site of the mosque. This church was built by Princess Thekla, the eldest daughter of Emperor Theophilus, in the name of the saints named Peter and Mark. The name of the neighborhood between the walls and this church is derived from the word "Tekla" and is used as "Toklu Dede". It had short sleeves, a Byzantine Cross plan, and a central dome. To the east, there were three apse sections projecting outwards. A newly built and well-kept courtyard could be seen on the left. The masonry style, stone, and signature arrangements reminded Byzantine architecture. Although the church was known as "Atik Mustafa Pasha Mosque" in the first years when it was converted into a mosque, its name was later changed to "Hazret-i Cabir Mosque". Hz. It is connected to the tomb of "Hazrat Cabir", one of the companions of Muhammad. Grand Vizier Sultan II, known as Atik or Koca Mustafa Pasha. During the Beyazıt period, he converted this church into a mosque in 1490.
Fethiye Museum and Mosque (Old Pammakaristos Church): Bizans Dönemi’nde inşa edilen Pammakaristos Kilisesi, günümüzde Fethiye Müzesi olarak faaliyetini sürdürmektedir. Pammakaristos Kilisesi ilk olarak 1261 yılında Latin egemenliğinin son bulmasından sonra eski kilisenin kalıntıları üzerine yeniden inşa edilmiştir. Pammakaristos Kilisesinin kuzeyde yer alan bölümü Hz. Meryem’e adanmıştır. 1315 yılında da kilisenin sağ bölümüne Hz. İsa’ya adanan küçük bir ek kilise yaptırılmıştır. İstanbul’un fethinden sonra Kadın manastırı olarak kullanılan yapı, 1455-1586 yılları arasında da Patrikhane olarak hizmet vermiştir. Sultan III. Murad döneminde ise camiye çevrilen Pammakaristos Kilisesine o tarihten sonra Fethiye Camisi adı verilmiştir. Günümüzde kilisenin kuzey tarafı cami olarak ibadete açıktır. Duvarları XIV. yüzyıl mozaikleri ile süslü olan ek kilise ise 1938-1940 yılları arasında restorasyondan geçen yapı müze olarak hizmete açılmıştır. Fethiye Mosque, just like Gül Mosque, was a church in the Byzantine period and was converted into a mosque after the conquest. This mosque, located in Balat's Fethiye Kapı Street, was built by Prostostratos Mikhael Glabas Tarkhaniotes in the 13th century. The building, which was used as the Patriarchate after the conquest, was converted into a mosque in 1601 in memory of the Persian wars. After it was converted into a mosque, a mihrab, madrasah, and minaret were added. The mosque, which was converted into a museum during the Republic period, was turned into a mosque again in 1960. The exterior of the mosque is built with stone and brick like the Gül Mosque, and on the interior there are still Greek writings and Hz. Pictures of Jesus, saints, and saints remain.
