The Pammakaristos Church, also called the Church of Theotokos Pammakaristos, stands in the Çarşamba neighbourhood of Istanbul's Fatih district, inside the walled old city. Converted in 1591 into the Fethiye Mosque, it is partly a museum housed in a side chapel, or parekklesion. One of the most important examples of Palaiologan architecture in Constantinople, it contains the largest quantity of Byzantine mosaics in Istanbul after Hagia Sophia and the Chora.
