The beautiful Beylerbeyi Palace was built as a summer palace for the Ottoman dynasty. It was also used as a State Guest House. Among many European Royal guests who were hosted here, one of them was the protagonist of a love affair that did not deem religion and nationality as obstacles.
The beautiful Chora Museum, with its mesmerising mosaics and frescoes, is one of the unforgettable places in Istanbul. Unfortunately, the way it will be possible to see these beautiful works of art in the future is quite obscure at the moment. However, you still have a chance to visit the place as a museum if you are currently in the city or will be visiting Istanbul in the near future. This post aims to provide you with a glimpse of this wonderful example of Byzantine art that is no less valuable than the examples in Ravenna, Italy.
