Orthodox people should definitely visit. The rarest case: the Muslims did not destroy the decoration of the temple after the conquest of Constantinople.
Inside there is a very large number of frescoes that are completely unusual for us.
If I understand correctly, the Turkish authorities have generally decided to restore it and something is already there in this form.
However, the central office still serves as a mosque, and you may have to wait 20 minutes to enter.

The oldest Christian temple with restored mosaics, which is not inferior in importance and decoration to St. Sophia, is a wonderful object lost in a suburban (now) district, not far from the walls of Constantinople. One of the disadvantages is the price. 50 euros

A beautiful mosque in a quiet and peaceful place of the city. Undeservedly deprived of the attention of tourists. A cozy cafe opposite, where you can have tea. A place where it's quiet)

This is an amazing place! I am very sorry for what we have lost, but I am very grateful for what we have saved! Perhaps the monastery of Hora (Kariye Mosque) left the strongest impression of all that was seen in Istanbul!

Ancient well-preserved frescoes. And although this is a functioning mosque, the premises where they are located are not used for these purposes. There are explanatory signs . The only thing that does not turn out to be expensive for Muslims is 20 euros per person at the time of the visit.

The incredible beauty of mosaics and frescoes. There are very rare subjects, for example, the first steps of the Virgin Mary. A lot of mosaics have reached almost without damage. We managed to visit for free.

100% ready to visit, you will not see such beauty anywhere in Istanbul. Preserved images from the golden mosaic. It is located in Balata, then you can go down to the colored houses in Fener and the unique Bulgarian Church.

Previously, this mosque was called the monastery of Hora, frescoes are still preserved there, which, unfortunately, are crumbling, apparently, it is more profitable and cheaper to rebuild a new mosque than to maintain and preserve the memory!

The Church of Christ the Savior in the Fields (Monastery of Hora) is the most beautiful monument of Byzantine church architecture, one of the few examples of such left from the time of Constantinople....

20 euros per person, well, given how the Turks treat historical sites, I don't think it's worth it, we didn't go. The cost for the locals is 1.5 euros, there is money, but I am not an idiot, the neighboring Blachernae Palace is at a normal price of 50 lire per person

In the past, an ancient Orthodox church, recently opened to the public after restoration, guided tours are conducted here.

The church itself is magnificent, but entrance is now paid. 20 euros per person, quite expensive. Going 1 time is definitely worth it

We went to this mosque ourselves on the advice of the guide, he told us that if we really want to see the frescoes, well restored, then we do not need to go to St. Sophia for 25 euros, but we need to take a taxi and come here. :-)
