The Zeyrek Mosque is a mosque in Constantinople. The mosque is the second largest religious building built by the Byzantines.
History[edit | edit source]
The Zeyrek Mosque began service in the 12th century as an Eastern Orthodox monastery. It grew dramatically over the following decades, acquiring a library, a hospital, a second church, a courtyard, and a tomb in less than a century.[1]
During the Latin occupation of Constantinople, the complex was the Vatican clergy's see until the restoration of the Palaiologos dynasty reinstated its Orthodox monks.[1]
Once the Ottomans took over, the entire building complex took on a multi-faceted, multicultural role. Muslims used one of the buildings as a madrasah, while Christians were still permitted to worship in the church's facilities.[1]
