Beskrivelse

Skip the ticket lines with a convenient digital entry ticket and enjoy a curated audio guide to the Chora Museum.

The Chora Church Museum, also known as the Kariye Mosque, stands as a historic marvel located in Istanbul. This architectural wonder was originally erected in the 4th century as part of a monastery complex, and gained fame for its mosaics and frescoes during a significant reconstruction in the 14th century. These artistic creations represent the zenith of Late Byzantine art, providing an insight into the religious and cultural life of that era.

Over time, the building has seen substantial transformations, including its conversion into a mosque during the Ottoman Empire. Today, this museum serves as a testament to Istanbul’s cultural tapestry. It's celebrated for its exquisite mosaics and frescoes that embellish the walls and ceilings with biblical scenes, depictions of saints' lives, and intricate Byzantine designs. The artwork is marked by its lively colours and meticulous details, demonstrating the high level of skill possessed by Byzantine artisans. These masterpieces are among the best-preserved examples of Byzantine art globally.

The museum's evolution from a Byzantine church to an Ottoman mosque and finally a museum underscores Istanbul's intricate cultural and religious history. While much of its Byzantine artwork remains, certain elements were modified or concealed in line with Islamic traditions during its tenure as a mosque.
