Review & FAQ:
Haghia Eirene was built in the 6th century and is one of the few places of worship in Istanbul that was never turned into a mosque. Though it is no longer used as a Greek Orthodox church, its design and construction create the perfect acoustics for classical music concerts, and the Istanbul International Music Festival holds events at Haghia Eirene every summer. The building is open to the public daily (except Tuesdays) for a small entrance fee. Located on the grounds of the Topkapi Palace, visitors can reach the location by train or tram and follow the path to the museum.
