Hirami Ahmed Pasha Mosque

Istanbul, Turkey · built 1101

Hirami Ahmet Pasha Mosque (Hırami Ahmet Paşa Mescidi) is a former Eastern Orthodox church converted into a mosque by the Ottomans. The small church, one among the 36 dedicated to Saint John the Baptist in Constantinople, was part of a monastery bearing the same name. Its full name was Saint John the Forerunner by-the-Dome (Ἃ Ἰ ὁ ἐ ῷ ῳ, Hagios Ioannis ho Prodromos en tō Trullō). It is the smallest Byzantine church of Constantinople still extant and has never been studied.
