Tripadvisors tilnærming til anmeldelser
Hver Tripadvisor-anmeldelse går gjennom et automatisert sporingssystem før den legges ut. Dette systemet samler inn informasjon som svarer på følgende spørsmål: Hvordan, hva, hvor og når. Hvis systemet oppdager noe som muligens strider imot retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet, blir anmeldelsen ikke publisert.
Når systemet oppdager et problem, kan en anmeldelse automatisk avvises, sendes til anmelderen for bekreftelse eller gjennomgås manuelt av teamet vårt av innholdsspesialister. Disse spesialistene jobber døgnet rundt for å opprettholde kvaliteten av anmeldelsene på nettstedet vårt.
Teamet vårt sjekker hver anmeldelse som er lagt ut på nettstedet og bestrides av fellesskapet vårt for ikke å møte retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet.

It is a magnificent building on a very steep hill in Balat. It is also known as the Red Church and is currently used as a high school. Unfortunately, we did not have the opportunity to go inside.

During the Istanbul October trip of 2022, I was lucky and unlucky at the same time: living in the brightest colorful quarter of the city - Balat - in less than ten days I managed to see only a small fraction of the interesting things in Istanbul. And even in my area of residence – Fatiha – I managed to cover “nothing at all.”
The main mistake is that when preparing to get acquainted with a particular object, you need to study a number of subtleties: starting from its location and ending with the nuances of passing/entering directly into the must see itself.
Roughly imagining where one of the most interesting monuments of Byzantine sacred architecture is located - the so-called Church of Mary of Mongol - I cheerfully walked to the top of Fener Hill. My reference point was the red brick “colossus” of the Greek Lyceum (also known as the “Great School of Nations”, also known as Özel Fener Rum Ortaokulu ve Lisesi), rising at the very top of the hill.
Before the trip, I read on the Internet that if you cheerfully run around the territory of the Lyceum, you will just come running to the desired temple. Let's immediately decide on the name of this object.
I met the following: in the “language of native aspens” - the Church of Our Lady of Panagiotissa, the Church of Panagia Mucholiotissa, the Church of Mary of Mongol; in the language of the titular population - Meryem Ana Rum Ortodoks Kilisesi and Kanlı Kilise. Plus a number of “nicknames” in other languages. In one of the sources I came across a reference to the “Church of St. Mary of Mongol.”
To make it clear, the woman who gave one of the “names” to the sacral (about which below) WAS NEVER canonized as a saint. And so, the Church of Mary of Mongol. Let me make a reservation right away - the object is located away from the well-trodden routes of travel lovers and pilgrims. And, despite the fact that this temple is located near famous (and not so famous) monuments of sacred architecture of various faiths: Ahrida Sinagogu, Saint Stephen's Orthodox Church, Church of the Virgin Pammakarista (Fethiye Camii), St. George's Cathedral plus Mesnevîhâne, Cafer Subaşı mosques, İsmet Efendi Tekke, Tahta Minare, Abdi Subasi etc., not every fellow tourist will find it.
But this is the only Christian church in Constantinople that, since 1453 (the year the city was conquered by the army of the Ottoman Sultan Mehmed II) has NEVER become a mosque!!! So – how to find it? Visually find the Greek Lyceum (as I already mentioned, this red brick cuteness and monumentality can be seen from afar), move towards it along the steep streets and start walking around clockwise or counterclockwise - depending on who you like.
And as soon as a bloody-burgundy plastered cylindrical something, topped with an almost flat “cap” that looks like a Chinese doley hat, comes into your field of vision, then consider that “the rabbit hole is the entrance to the Looking Glass” Almost found it!!! In 9 cases out of 10, the entrance to the temple territory will be closed (it is opened only on the days and times when services are held).
This is exactly the situation I found myself in. Before the trip, I would like to read what I need, without being the least bit modest, knock/knock on the door - and, supposedly, it will definitely be opened... Alas, my “pioneer past from S3P” did not allow me to stoop to breaking down the door of the monastery ... Who knew?
So I left without a quick slurp... But during a boat trip along the Golden Horn Bay, I managed to take some good photos of the Church of Mary of Mongol against the backdrop of the Fener Greek Lyceum!!! I will allow myself not to copy-paste Net information about the history of this sacred place - if you run “diagonally” at least part of what is written in different sources, then there will be plenty of versions of the appearance of this temple (including its names).
But all of them, these versions, ultimately “close” on the illegitimate daughter of the Byzantine Emperor Michael VIII Palaiologos - Maria Despina of Mongol. The latter, “having stood on one leg” for 17 years of marriage to the hulaguid and second Ilkhan Abaka Khan, after the death of her husband returned to Constantinople (and this happened either in 1281 or 1282), where on the territory of the All Saints Monastery, located on the top of Fener, rebuilt the ancient church, which was originally consecrated in honor of the Virgin Mary Panagiotissa and, subsequently, became named after Panagia Mucholiotissa.
But this is only an assumption: the centuries-old history of this church has not been studied in detail, and brief information about it allows us to reconstruct only the general picture. Net information regarding this temple is almost 90% identical: it seems that someone took and, relying on something that is not entirely clear, sculpted his own vision of the history of Meryem Ana Rum Ortodoks Kilisesi.
After which all the other payers stupidly copied and pasted this “original” information. The single-domed church with an almost flat dome and a small, almost invisible from the ground, inconspicuous cross on top, is painted over the plaster and, thus, hides the masonry, typical of Byzantine buildings, made of special bricks - plinths. By the way, please note: despite the fact that this church has been an Orthodox church since its inception, its appearance has undergone much more serious changes than the appearance of other Christian churches that became mosques after the conquest of Constantinople by the Ottomans.
There is an opinion that during its existence, the architecture of the Church of Panagia Mucholiotissa changed its appearance so often that, as a result, it “dulled” the interest of researchers of the cultural heritage of Byzantium in this undoubtedly interesting object.
I managed to find a book by Nikodim Pavlovich Kondakov, a Russian historian of Byzantine and Old Russian art, archaeologist, creator of the iconographic method of studying art monuments, academician of the St. Petersburg Academy of Sciences and the Imperial Academy of Arts, entitled “Byzantine Churches and Monuments of Constantinople,” published in 1886.
And there, completely unexpectedly for myself, I came across lines indicating that the mentioned guru from the history of Byzantium generally questioned the antiquity of the Church of Mary of Mongol: “...The appearance of the Church of Panagia Mukhliotissa (Mongols) also raises doubts about antiquity in us. in the Phanar, built by Maria Palaeologus at the end of the 13th century: only the dome remained here from antiquity, thanks to the fact that the church passed into the hands of Christians.”
I respect the opinions of other people - “all markers have different tastes and colors”... And the last “touch”: as I already mentioned, in a number of sources you can find the name of the temple as “Kanlı Kilise” (“Bloody Church” ). If you believe the legends, during the last assault on the walls of Constantinople by the troops of the Ottoman Sultan Mehmed II, the Janissary troops managed to break through the defenses of the city’s defenders and the bloody slaughter began in the labyrinth of streets.
The battle was for every house, for every lane... The serious strategic position of the Monastery of All Saints - on the top of the steep Fener hill - seriously hampered the advance of the invaders. As a result, the Fener slopes and the buildings located on them (including the Church of Mary of Mongol) became the site of the most furious mahacha of the Byzantines and Ottomans.
The blood of the defenders and attackers, in the literal sense of the word, flowed like a river... Perhaps it was for this reason that in subsequent years the plastered walls of the temple were painted in a bloody burgundy color, which they remain to this day... It’s not for nothing that the victorious Turks, As a result, they gave the Istanbul Church of Our Lady of Panagiotissa the nickname “Bloody”...
The object is very interesting from a historical perspective. Do not miss!!!

It is also known as the bloody church. It's beautiful from the outside and a very magical place. I would love to see no entry allowed.

Unfortunately was closed. Located in the very nice area of balat and fener.It was just a nice building. Not worth to visit because is closed.
They really have to open it again. I could see the photos from old reviews and looks amazing from inside.

Eccezionale chiesa ortodossa Beyoglu. È difficile notarla perché situata in un vicolo sulla Istiklal Caddesi. È aperta solo la domenica mattina. È però bellissima,in sottofondo i canti. Ha inoltre una storia particolare.

Enorme costruzione in mattoni rossi che domina il quartiere. Ex liceo greco da qualche anno chiuso, da quanto appreso in loco, per mancanza di iscritti. Non proprio agevole ammirarlo da vicino per la ripida strada che si deve percorrere. Merita!

Görüntü muhteşem. Kilise değil okul olarak kullanılıyor. Tam tepede ve bayır çıkararak ulaşabildiğiniz bu okula girilemiyor. Dışardan muhteşem görünüyor. Sanki oraya ait değilmiş başka yerden taşınmış gibi...

Stunning architecture and colour. Not sure but I don't think you can go in. Located on a steep hill so wear good shoes. There is an information board in English which gives you some history about the building.
