Bodrum Mosque (Turkish: Bodrum Camii) is a former Eastern Orthodox church in Constantinople, converted into a mosque by the Ottomans. The church was known under the Greek name of Myrelaion.
History
The Church of Myrelaion was built in 10th century.
The shrine was damaged by fire in 1204, during the Fourth Crusade. Abandoned during the Latin occupation of Constantinople (1204–1261), the building was repaired at the end of the thirteenth century, during the period of the Palaiologan restoration.
After the Ottoman conquest of Constantinople in 1453, the Myrelaion was converted in a mosque by Grand Vizier Mesih Pasa around the year 1500, during the reign of Bayezid II. The edifice was damaged again by fires in 1784 and 1911, when it was abandoned.
