Take No. 87 from the underground bus stop at Taksim Square to the Kola Church on the west side of the old city of Istanbul. Mosaic mosaics here are no less exquisite. The most beautiful mosaics are at the top of the door leading to the center of the inner front porch. After reading this, I feel like I have come back without looking at the mosaic.

    The Cora Church is a magnificent Byzantine-era church located on the outskirts of Istanbul. It has beautiful murals and mosaic paintings, basically centuries old. Each painting is a biblical story, and if you have a Christian friend who reads the Bible, remember to invite him to join you, which will give you great guidance.

    I came back after seeing the Cathedral of Saint Sophia, so obviously I think the size of the church is small, but it also has its characteristics, mainly because the murals on his wall are still very distinctive

    Its Chinese is the Korla Church, located in the suburbs of Istanbul. Tickets 30 lira. The Turkish Museum Pass can be visited. It is not big inside, there are precious Christian murals. I don't know if there are people here who recommend it to explain. The facade decoration is a pity.

    There is a bus from the dock. This is a small church, but it has beautiful mosaic murals, all from the Bible. Tickets are 15 lira/person. All churches in Turkey are not free because they have been turned into museums! On the contrary, the mosques here are all free! How unpopular Christianity is here! When we went there, the church was under renovation, but we could see its original appearance faintly. In fact, it was very beautiful!

    Although it's just a small church with a humble appearance, the mosaic of Byzantium inside is dazzling enough. The figure's gaze at you makes you feel peaceful. Although I'm not a believer, I've been sitting there for a long time. It's a unique feeling accompanied by art and religion. Even if there are visitors walking around, you can find inner peace there.

    Mosaic mosaics have always been the focus of Byzantine art, and Istanbul, once called Constantinople, is the focus of this focus. I bought a five-day pass to the museum and backed up to the museum. It's really a worthwhile trip. The holy picture here is relatively complete and amazing!!! Museum staff are excellent in quality and fluent in English. Because of the museum card, we can get a 9% discount on books. It's nice to show us how to get to the next Museum and what kind of car to take.
