Restoration Works
The building took its present form after major construction and restoration works in different periods.
The outer narthex is the entrance to the church. Above the main door leading to the inner narthex is a Pantocrator mosaic.
On the north wall of the inner narthex, there are depictions of the events from the birth to the marriage of Mary.
There are three mosaic panels in the nave. One of them is the Death of Mary (Koimesis) on the west wall, above the main door. The other two are the templon panels on both sides of the bema.
The Kariye parekklesion has a rectangular plan and creates a visually rich effect with the arrangement of the dome - dome vault and apse half dome and the saints on the lower walls.
