To get to another must-see monument we took a taxi to the Church of St. Savior in Chora. The cab driver took side streets and alleys so we were passed several neighborhoods, one of which was very conservative. All the women in this neighborhood were shrouded from head to foot in black. The Chora museum is considered to be one of the most beautiful examples of Byzantine churches left and was built in 534. In the 16th century it was converted into a mosque and became a museum in 1948.
