One of the domes in Chora Church, with a beautiful mosaic of Jesus Christ ("Pantokrator"), Istanbul, Turkey. Chora church (Turkish: Kariye Müzesi, Kariye Camii, or Kariye Kilisesi — the Chora Museum, Mosque or Church) is probably one of the most beautiful museums of Istanbul. It's relatively difficult to find, compared to marvels such as Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque, the Topkapi palace, the Basilica Cistern, that are very close the one to the other, but it's an absolute "must see"!!! It's mostly famous for its fantastics mosaics, like this one of Jesus Christ - Pantokrator (considered the best sample of late Byzantine art, also know as "The Palaeologian Renaissance")") but you can also see some fantastic frescoes.
