It's beautiful, but there are no murals, but you can feel the power of this place. If you have purchased a ticket to Topkapi, then passage here will be free. The considerable thickness of the century-old walls, the striking architecture and the century-old vaults, all this evokes respect for the ancient architects. Definitely worth a visit

A historical place from the time of Byzantium.

An absolute immersion into the depths of centuries... There are no words to describe the impressions and sensations. It is better to visit once to see and feel the incredible atmosphere of this place! For those who will visit, please note that the entrance ticket is sold to the Top Caps and the church of St. Irene, you will not buy separately in the Top caps. You can buy separately to the church of St. Irene, but then if you decide to visit the Top caps another time you will have to overpay. And the payment is only in Turkish lira, so when you get there for an excursion, change the day before to Turkish lira

The architecture is amazing. What a scale and majesty. It's a pity that there's just an empty building inside. I would like at least some things from those times. Although the temple was used as a warehouse. It is possible to show how t that tvi was stored. But in any case, it is definitely worth a visit

We visited as part of a comprehensive ticket to the Topkapi Palace. There's not much to see in the church itself. You can walk around the edge of an empty hall and that's it. The 2nd floor passes were closed.

A very ancient building. Judging by the stripped walls, there were wonderful frescoes here, but all the wild Turks were stripped as in St. Sophia. And they charge money for the inspection. Barbarians

I was in Istanbul for the first time. An amazing city. Colorful. It can be seen that it keeps a lot of history. The improvement efforts are amazing. Urbanism leaves much to be desired in some places. She's obviously spoiled by Moscow. But there are not as many new models as in our capital. I wish the Turks to continue taking care of their city. The church is beautiful

Two stars only out of respect for the church. How did it happen that an Orthodox person has to pay 600 rubles for the entrance to the church (which, by the way, was stripped to a brick from the inside)?! We were in December 2024

An iconic place. It's worth a visit. It is better to arrive 10 minutes before the opening of the ticket offices. From 9 to 9.30 am, the least crowded, then the crowds and queues. They only let you on the second floor. You can also go to the museum. For an adult, 25 euros, if also a museum, then 47 euros. Recommend.

It may seem that there is nothing to see there. The church is just beginning to be restored, the interior is empty, only traces of mosaics that once decorated the walls. But this cathedral, built in the 6th century as a Christian one, has never been Muslim. With the arrival of the Ottomans, it was simply closed. If you are "stuck" by stones with a thousand-year history, you will understand.. Entrance is paid, included in the ticket price to Topkapi

The condition inside is not so good - it came under distribution during the capture of the city. But it's worth a look, you can go along with the Topkapi Palace.

One of the oldest buildings in Constantinople, and now Istanbul. On the one hand, it is a joy that the Christian church of All Saints has survived to this day and thanks to the descendants of the Ottoman Empire. But I would so like to see this shrine in a flourishing form, even as a museum.

The oldest church in Constantinople (historians argue who is more ancient than St. Irene or St. Sofia), is in a terrible state. And this is the attitude of the Turks to the entire heritage of Constantinople. Deliberately barbaric attitude to the Christian shrine.

A very controversial structure, far from the classics of architecture of any culture. The arches of the vaults have been completely and partially redone at least three times. Perhaps after each destruction of the building, new projects of that time were built. The cultural layer is 5 meters lower. He clearly shows that the openings of the arches are sealed with improvised materials, including antique columns with centering for a square pin. For a paid entry, there is not enough external attractiveness to begin with

The Church of St. Irene is one of the oldest churches in Constantinople, in fact dedicated to the "Holy World", and not to the woman Irene. (Irini is the likeness of the world)
The church is located in the courtyard of the Topkapi Palace, made in the shape of a cross. The current building is the third. This temple is older than the religion of Islam - it was built 40 years before the birth of the Prophet Muhammad.
