ABOUT KARIYE MOSQUE:
The Kariye Mosque, also known as the Chora Church, is renowned for its breathtaking mosaics and frescoes, which date back to the Byzantine era. The art was done between 1310 and 1317 AD. Located in the Edirnekapı neighborhood, this mosque has a unique history of transformation from a church to a mosque and now doubles as a museum. Its artistic and historical significance makes it a must-visit destination for anyone interested in Byzantine art and architecture.
ABOUT UNDERGROUND MOSQUE:
The Underground Mosque, also known as the Karaköy Mosque, is one of Istanbul's hidden gems. Situated beneath the bustling streets of Karaköy, this mosque offers a serene and spiritual retreat from the city's vibrant atmosphere. The site features three tombs some believe are the companions of the Prophet Muhammad, so it's a pilgrimage destination for many. Its unique underground setting and tranquil, low-light ambiance provide a distinctive experience for visitors, making it an intriguing spot for those looking to explore the lesser-known treasures of Istanbul.
