Odalar Mosque, Byzantine mosque in Salmatomruk district, Istanbul, Turkey
The Odalar Mosque contains a tripartite east section with a central apse and two side rooms that extend beyond the main structure point.
Built between the 9th and 10th centuries as an Orthodox church, the structure became a Catholic church in 1475 and transformed into a mosque in 1640.
The building reflects multiple religious transformations, serving Orthodox Christians, Catholic Italian immigrants, and Muslim worshippers throughout different periods.
The remains of the mosque are located near Edirne Kapı, with archaeological evidence visible in the courtyards of adjacent residential buildings.
The structure featured a subterranean crypt beneath its central apse, decorated with frescoes depicting the Theotokos and Christ child flanked by angels.
