beyazit-pulpit1

Excavations in the mid twentieth century during the construction of buildings for Istanbul University (41.013171,28.959398 or thereabouts) revealed traces of several churches. These have now been covered up except for some pieces that were removed and placed in the Archaeological Museum. The churches are now known as Basilica A, B, C and D. The most substantial remains are a marble pulpit from Basilica A that stands in the grounds of Aya Sofya and some column capitals, some of which are scattered about the grounds of the university close to the fire tower.
