Editor's Note
Built in the 19th century by the architect Nazar Usta, the church was repaired in 1907; later, because it stood in Maden Mahallesi, it was converted into a mosque in 1928 under the name Maden Mosque with the addition of a mihrab. The apse was demolished and replaced with a straight wall, leaving a three-aisled rectangular building. A minaret was built from the stones of the bell tower. During the 2005 restoration, frescoes were uncovered on the surface of the vault. The decorations are displayed to visitors through an opening-and-closing system.
