Story
Hidden among the historic streets of Fener, the Ayios Minas Sacred Spring (ayazma) is one of the important traces of the Byzantine world of faith. Dedicated to Saint Minas, this holy spring was visited with reverence by the inhabitants of Constantinople for centuries. On the narrow streets of Fener, the structure, whose walls bear the inscriptions of time, is not merely a physical location but the spiritual center of a multicultural civilization. The sacred spring, which preserved its existence during the Ottoman period as well, gained fame for its holy water believed to be miraculous in curing illness. This place is an important starting point for understanding the deepening historical layers of the Fatih district. During your visit, take in the bright windows of the surrounding Greek churches and listen to the stories of the narrow streets.
