Kariye / Chora

The Chora Church, shaped into its present form by one of history's greatest patrons of the arts, Theodoros Metokhites, in the 14th century, is a world heritage site that gained a new identity when it was converted into a mosque by Atik Ali Pasha during the Ottoman era. The fascinating stories behind the globally renowned mosaics and frescoes, considered precursors of the Renaissance period, await enthusiasts in this book. This work, published in limited quantities in Turkish and English by Demirören Publishing, comes in a special box for collectors.
