The Hagia Irene located in the outer courtyard of Topkapı Palace is the oldest church of the Eastern Roman Empire (Byzantine). It was also the second largest church in Istanbul after Hagia Sophia. Hagia Irene, originally means “sacred peace” (Hagia Eirene), has a special meaning as the first place where Turkish museology was born. Hagia Irene, a typical Byzantine structure with its materials and architecture, was built on the site of an old temple in 330. During the reign of Emperor Justinianus, the Nika Revolt in 532 led to the devastation of both Hagia Sophia and the Hagia Irene, and two of them were rebuilt together. After the fall of Constantinople since the church was not converted into a mosque it was used as loot and gun depot (Harbiye Warehouse) for a long time. In 1846, the first collection of artifacts of Turkish museology was exhibited and in 1869 it became the country's first official museum under the name of Müze-i Hümayun (Imperial Museum). The weapons collection was reorganized and it served as the first Military Museum between 1908 and 1930.

There are many places left from the Byzantine Empire among the places to visit in Istanbul, but Hagia Irene Church is the first church built by the Byzantines in Istanbul. After the conquest of Istanbul, the church was not converted into a mosque and it was decided to become a museum in the 19th century. The church, called the Museum-i Hümayun or the Imperial Museum, was the first museum opened in the Ottoman Empire. The church, which was later used as a Military Museum, has been part of the Istanbul Foundation for Culture and Arts since 1973. For this reason, many different cultural and artistic events organized by İKSV take place here. You can have a more enjoyable time, especially if you go when these activities are held.
