Panayia İsodion Church

The Panayia İsodion Church features traditional Byzantine architectural elements including stone domes, decorated arches, and remaining sections of original mosaic artwork throughout the structure.

During the Ottoman period after 1453, this Byzantine religious building maintained its Christian character while many other churches in Constantinople underwent conversion to Islamic places of worship.

The church interior contains examples of religious iconography that demonstrate the artistic and spiritual traditions of the Greek Orthodox community in Istanbul through different periods.

Located near public transportation stops in central Beyoğlu, the church welcomes visitors who can combine their tour with visits to neighboring historical structures in the district.

The stone walls of Panayia İsodion hold intact sections of original Byzantine craftsmanship, providing direct evidence of construction techniques from that historical period.
