About the Pammakaristos Church
Also called the Church of Theotokos Pammakaristos, the Pammakaristos Church is one of the best-known Byzantine church buildings in Istanbul, and it was the final pre-Ottoman home of the Ecumenical Patriarchate. In 1591 it was converted into the Fethiye Mosque. Part of the complex is a museum in the side chapel, or parekklesion. The mosque-museum stands in the Çarşamba neighborhood of the Fatih district, within the walled old city; it is an important example of Constantinople's Palaiologan architecture. Its Byzantine mosaics are exceeded in Istanbul only by those at the Hagia Sophia and The Chora.
Most scholars place the church in the eleventh or twelfth century. The original structure is attributed by some historians to Michael VII Ducas (1071–1078), while others date its foundation to the Comnenian period. A side chapel was added on the south side during the early Palaiologan period. It was dedicated to Christos ho Logos. Soon after 1310, Martha Glabas built a small shrine there to commemorate her late husband, the general Michael Doukas Glabas Tarchaneiote, and the chapel carries a dedicatory inscription to Christ by the poet Manuel Philes.
Following the 1453 conquest of Constantinople, the patriarchate left Hagia Sophia for the Church of the Holy Apostles, and in 1456 it moved to the Pammakaristos, where it stayed until 1587. In 1591 Sultan Murad III turned it into a mosque and renamed it for his conquest of Georgia and Azerbaijan. Most of the interior walls were then taken out to make room for prayer. The complex was restored in 1949, and the side chapel has been a museum since then.
