What To Expect

The Chora Church Museum, also known as Kariye Mosque, is a historic marvel in Istanbul. Originally built in the 4th century, it was renowned for its vibrant 14th-century mosaics and frescoes, reflecting the peak of Late Byzantine art. The building was later transformed into a mosque during the Ottoman Empire, adding to its historical significance.

Today, the museum is celebrated for its exquisite Byzantine mosaics and frescoes, featuring Biblical scenes and intricate designs. These artworks are among the best-preserved examples of Byzantine art. The museum's history as a church, mosque, and now a museum showcases Istanbul's rich cultural and religious heritage. Visitors can explore at their own pace with an audio guide, making the Chora Museum a must-visit for art and history enthusiasts.

Please note that Chora Museum is closed to visitors on Fridays.
