Beschrijving
Het Chora Kerkmuseum, ook wel bekend als de Kariye Moskee, is een van Istanbuls mooiste voorbeelden van Byzantijnse kunst. Gebouwd in de 4e eeuw en rijk versierd in de 14e eeuw, valt het op door zijn gedetailleerde mozaïeken en fresco's die Bijbelse verhalen vertellen in levendige kleuren en expressie.

Bezoekers kunnen met een audio Gids op ontdekking gaan, genieten van de rustige sfeer en de tijd nemen om deze prachtig bewaard gebleven kunstwerken te bewonderen die door de eeuwen heen hebben overleefd en een ware blik bieden in het glorieuze verleden en de tijdloze schoonheid van de stad.

Despite everything paid and documents we were 40 minutes to enter and after 20 minutes inside we were placed on the street because it was prayer time
Dear Guest, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We would like to kindly clarify that all tickets are automatically sent via confirmation email on the booking day and are available to redeem before visiting the museum. We always recommend checking the confirmation email carefully prior to arrival to ensure a smooth entry process. Additionally, it is clearly stated on the activity page and in the visitor information that the monument is closed to visitors during prayer times. As this is an active place of worship, access may be temporarily restricted. For this reason, we strongly advise all visitors to plan their visit carefully and allow sufficient time between two prayer sessions to complete their experience without interruption. Entry procedures and temporary closures due to prayer times are managed by the official authorities and apply to all visitors, regardless of ticket type. We appreciate your understanding and thank you again for your feedback. Kind regards, Istanbul Tourist Pass® Team
Incredible place with Byzantine mosaics; well preserved; accessible even after the museum was converted into a mosque. Off the beaten tourist path but well worth visiting. Recommend getting a guide to discuss the details of stories depicted in the mosaics and the frescoes. It enriches the experience tenfold.

A small but beautiful former Byzantine church with well-preserved mosaics and frescos depicting not just the life of Christ but also that of Mary. It is well worth the visit away from the old town to see these magnificently decorated walls, arches and domes. An audio guide and written information enhance the experience with explanations of the scenes and the history of the church, now a mosque. We had a ticket issue which staff were extra helpful in resolving for us and, if you can time your visit for early in the day, you might enjoy this wonderful space before the tour crowds arrive.

Amazing. Do not miss. Best mosaics and frescoes we have seen in Turkey. It is a 10 min taxi ride from the center but absolutely worth the detour.
