Kariye, one of the symbolic monuments of Istanbul with its artistic and historical features and located in the Edirnekapı neighbourhood of Fatih, has a historical background dating back to the 6th century. Kariye Mosque, which was used as a palace church and chapel during the Roman period, is among the rare buildings that have managed to stand defiantly against history. Kariye, which is a part of the historical and cultural richness of Istanbul with its multi-layered structure, is a unique historical document with its architectural style, space design, dimensions, decoration elements such as mosaics, frescoes and various period additions. It constitutes one of the richest and most surviving examples not only in Istanbul but also in the whole world of late Roman art.
