Kalenderhane Mosque
KALENDERHANE MOSQUE
(HAGIA THEOTOKOS)
Kalenderhane Mosque is a building in a form of Eastern Orthodox Church from Eastern Rome era and it stands to the south of the east end of The Valens Aquaduct. It was converted into mosque by The Ottomans in the 18th century. Most probably, the church was originally dedicated to Theotokos Kyriotissa. The building is one of the few existing examples of Eastern Roman churches with a Greek cross arch. According to planning and style it was estimated to be from 9th and 10th century.
After the Latin conquest of Constantinople, the building was used as a Roman Catholic church. After the conquest of Istanbul in 1453, the church was given to Kalenderi dervishes by Mehmed the Conqueror. Dervishes used the church as a madrasah. Since then, it has been known as Kalenderhane (Kalender house).
It was transformed into a mosque in 18th century by Maktul Besir Aga. The mosque that was damaged in the fire and earthquake was restored in 1854. The minaret of Kalenderhane mosque was destroyed by lightning in 1930, and the mosque was deserted as a result. The structure was long devastated between 1966-1975 and it was restored in 1968 and reopened for worship.

Surp Pirgic Church
It is very beautiful with the bell tower and the view of the Galata Tower just behind it.
Do not neglect to have a conversation with our Georgian sister and get information about the history of the church and insist on this It is a place where very rare and valuable works are found. Very friendly and smiling people should definitely be met.

Andifoniti aya yorgi kilisesi
The door is basically closed here, and someone needs to knock on the door to open it. Open Monday to Friday, closed on weekends. The interior of the church is very dated.
