The frescoes we find in the church museum have the theme of redemption and resurrection, and they depict saints, martyrs, and scenes of prefiguration, judgment and resurrection. Among the frescoes of the funerary chapel I selected the scene of the Descent into Hell of Christ to raise and redeem the righteous (Adam and Eve as the exponents of humankind).
We leave the Church in Chora but remain in the neighborhood to explore the two old districts of Istanbul, Balat and Fener.
