List of the places you will visit:
Aya Kiryaki Church in Kadırga Istanbul: It was built in 1894 on Kumkapı Kadırga Liman Street in Suriçi, Istanbul. The church was dedicated to Saint Kiriaki. Kiriaki is the daughter of a wealthy Roman family. They are killed as a family because they are Christians. Kiriaki was martyred in the Christian faith. The existence of the church in Kumkapı, built in his name, dates back to the 16th century. The building, which was destroyed in 1730, 1865 and 1894, was rebuilt. The architect of the church, which was rebuilt in 1894, is Periklis Fotiatis. Architect Fotiatis built many important buildings in Istanbul at that time. He built structures such as Heybeliada Seminary and Zoğrafyon Greek High School.
Istanbul Panayia Elpida Greek Orthodox Church: It is a Greek Orthodox church in the middle of the island surrounded by Müsteşar, Gerdanlık, and Samsa streets in Kumkapı. The original is from the 15th century. Although it is claimed that it belongs to the Elpis ton Apelpismenon church dating back to the 16th century and was built on its foundations, this is not certain. The church, which suffered two consecutive fires in 1645 and 1660, was rebuilt in 1680. It is a building with a closed Greek cross plan in the east-west direction, located behind the large surrounding walls. The top of the middle space is covered with a dome and the side spaces are covered with a vault. There are diaconicon and prothesis cells on both sides of the apse, and along with their apses, there are three semi-circular apse projections. There are bell towers on three corners. The Bema section can be reached by three steps. There is a gallery above the narthex.
Aya Analipsiz Greek Orthodox Church: Aya Analipsiz Greek Orthodox Church located in the Samatya district of the Fatih district of Istanbul, Turkey. It is known that there was a church in the Eastern Roman period where the church is located, but the date of its first construction is unknown. Stephan Gerlach mentioned visiting a church here in his travelogue written in 1578, and Trifon Karabeynikov stated that the name of the church was Panagia Psomatia Mahaletha. The current church, which was built in place of the church that burned down in 1782, is a three-naved basilica. The building is managed by the Samatya Aya Analipsiz Greek Orthodox Church Foundation.
Church of Saint Menas of Samatya (Agios (Ayios) Minas Church): Church of Saint Menas of Samatya (Agios (Ayios) Minas Church) located in the Samatya area of the Fatih district of Istanbul, Turkey. It was built in 1833 by the architect Konstantin Yolasığmazis on the Early Christian Martirion of St. Polikarpos, built in the 4th or 5th century. Byzantine period; According to the Fathers of the Church, in the fourth century Empress Helena, mother of Constantine I, authorized construction of a martyrion and a monastery dedicated to the Saints Karpos and Papylos at the foot of the steep southwestern face of the Xeropholos (part of the seventh hill of Constantinople and at that time, before the construction of the Theodosian Wall, still outside the walls of the city). Karpos and Papylos had been martyred together with the saints Agathodorus and Agathonice in Pergamon under Decius in 251. The edifice was said to have the same plan as the one erected on the sepulcher of Christ in Jerusalem and to be adorned with marble. Although the Helena's involvement is far from certain, and her endowment can be surely excluded, the presence of several martyria in the area is attested. Ottoman period; After the Ottoman Conquest of Constantinople in 1453, the complex remained under Greek control. There are references in 1604 to the existence of a domed church dedicated to Saint Polykarpos, and of an Ayazma dedicated to Saint Menas. This church was destroyed in the great fire of Samatya of 1782, and rebuilt in 1833 by architect Konstantis Yolasığmazis, with money collected through an offertory of the local Mahalle assembly with the consent of Sultan Mahmud II (r. 1808–1839). The new church was dedicated to Saint Menas, like the near Ayazma. In 1878/9 four ancient tombs were found under the church.
Ayios Polieuktos Church (Hagios Polyeuktos Church): It was built between 524-527 in memory of the Roman soldier Polieuktos, who was killed for being a Christian. Before Hagia Sophia, the church, which was one of the largest basilicas in the city, was located in the area corresponding to today's Saraçhane, between the Tauri Forum and Constantinus Martirion. It is understood that the church was abandoned in the 12th century and its architectural decorations were looted before and by the Crusaders. Some fragments from the Church of San Marco in Venice and the decorated buttresses in the Piazetta were taken from this church. It is famous for its decorations, column capitals, which are among the most important examples of late Roman art, and its architectural splendor. It is said that the church is the church of the former palace of Anikia Juliana. It was built on an area of 2500 square meters. The ruins of the church were unearthed during the construction of an underground passage in the 1960s. The ruins, which can be seen today near the Istanbul Municipality Palace, were last cleaned by the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality in August 2020.
Istanbul Kumkapı Mother Mary Armenian Church and Armenian Patriarchate: Istanbul Kumkapı Mother Mary Armenian Church and Armenian. Patriarchate. It was originally a Byzantine Church. This church is the largest church in Istanbul. In 1641, it finally became the central church (cathedral) of the Istanbul Armenian Patriarchate. It burned to ashes in 1645 and was rebuilt in the same year, during the reign of Patriarch Tavit Areveltzi and with the efforts of Priest Boğos from Divrik. The fire in 1718 destroyed the church and the entire patriarchate. A year later, the church was rebuilt with the efforts of Jerusalem Patriarch Krikor Şığtayagir Istanbul Patriarch Hovhannes Golod, and the important architects Hacı Seğpos, Hacı Melidon Araboğlu and Sarkis Kalfa. The fire in 1762 damaged the building again, but Patriarch Hagop Nalyan quickly renovated the building. Later, Patriarch Zakarya surrounded the church with a stone wall and took precautions with a pool and pump to prevent the church from being affected by fire. The church was repaired in 1819, during the reign of Patriarch Boğos of Edirne, under the supervision of Harutyun Amira Bezciyan (Kazaz Artin).
