Molla Gürani Camii (Vefa Kilise Mosque)

Vefa Kilise Mosque (Turkish: Vefa Kilise Camii, meaning “the church mosque of Vefa”, to distinguish it from the other kilise camiler of Istanbul: also known as Molla Gürani Camii after the name of his founder) is a former Eastern Orthodox church converted into a mosque by the Ottomans. The church was possibly dedicated to Hagios Theodoros (St. Theodore, in Greek: ἡ Ἐκκλησία του Ἁγίου Θεοδόρου), but this dedication is far from certain. The complex represents one of the most important examples of Comnenian and Palaiologan architecture of Constantinople.

Molla Gürani Mosque

Location
The building lies in Istanbul, in the district of Fatih, in the neighborhood of Vefa, less than one kilometer to the northwest of the other great Byzantine building in Vefa (the mosque of Kalenderhane), and a few hundred meters south of the Süleymaniye Mosque.
