The Church of Our Lady of Kyriotissa, 6th century A.D. Recognizable Romanesque architecture. It is practically adjacent to the aqueduct of Valens. Unusual, the two walls consist almost entirely of three tiers of arched windows, as if repeating the arched pattern of the aqueduct. Only fragments of the painting have been preserved at the entrance, the images themselves have not been preserved, but the style common to other churches of the same period is visible - a dark blue background. You can imagine how it was before. The colored stone wall paneling has been completely preserved. For those interested in the history of Christianity in Byzantium, I highly recommend it. It's a mosque now, admission is free outside prayer hours.

The Byzantine temple was founded in honor of the Holy Martyr Theodosia, an ancient building. It connects to the walls of the fortress, all of impressive size. Surrounded by ruins. The current mosque opens late.
