saleymaniye

The centre of life for the ordinary citizen of Constantinople. The churches are more modest than those around the major palaces near Aya Sofya. The intact ones are the marble-lined Kalenderhane, the doll’s house of Bodrum Camii and the unreconstructed, dirty-old-man of Constantinople churches, Vefa Camii. The rest have disappeared under development, especially of the ever-metastasising Istanbul University. It may have been better if the remains of the massive Church of St Polyeuktos had never resurfaced.
