in #architecturalphotography • 6 years ago (edited)

Second largest church of the Eastern Roman Empire, following Hagia Sophia, Hagia Eirene was built on top of an older temple, out of wood. The Nica riot, occurred during the rule of Emperor Justinianus on 532 caused both Hagia Sophia and Hagia Eirene means "Holy Peace".

Consisting of three sections, naos, narthex and atrium, Hagia Eirene is the only surviving example of a Byzantine period church today with a standing atrium. Built as a basilica with three naves during the reign of Constantinos the Great (8306-337), it has been repaired by Leo III (717-741) and his son Constantine Copronymus (741-775).

Only a few modifications have been made during the Ottoman period, since Hagia Eirene has not been converted into a mosque following the conquest of Constantinople. With the building of Topkapi Palace, the church became located in the Palace garden grounds, and has been transformed into an armory. Since it is located inside Palace grounds, it has been known as "Enderun Cebehanesi" or "İç Cebehane" meaning "inner arsenal".

Based on the archaeological artifacts collection in 1869, Hagia Eirene was named the first official museum of the Ottoman Empire, named "Müze-i Hümâyûn". In 1875i the archaeological artifacts were moved to the new museum established in Çinili Köşk (Tiled Kiosk). In the years before the 1st World War, the weapons collection in Hagia Eirene has been reorganized and the building had been established as the first Military Museum. The building served this purpose until 1930, into the Republic era. Subordinated into the Hagia Sophia Museum Directorate in 1949, the Hagia Eirene Monument was opened for visitors in January 9th, 2014 as a section under Topkapi Palace Museum Directorate.
