Nicaea was the capital-in-exile of the Byzantine Empire during the period of Latin occupation of Constantinople. The city’s new prominence meant the construction of many churches between 1204 and 1261. Slow centuries of neglect during Ottoman occupation were followed by sudden destruction as the Greek army was driven back to the Aegean in the War of Independence. Most churches in Iznik were levelled. This one is near the Istanbul Gate. It may have been dedicated to St. Tryphon, as may one at the opposite end of the town near Yenişehir Gate. This church has suffered further indignities in recent times as a street has been built over part of it and the remaining walls now serve as seating in a small public park. There is so little left that I don’t think anyone has bothered to study it in any sort of academic sense.
