Fethiye Museumvisitor guide.

Pammakaristos Church was rebuilt upon the ruins of the older church following the end of Latin rule in 1261, and its northern portion was dedicated to the Virgin Mary. In addition to repairs undertaken between 1292 and 1294 by Michael Glabas Ducas Tarchaneiotes, nephew of Eastern Roman Emperor Michael VIII Palaiologos, a small side chapel (parekklesion) dedicated to Jesus Christ was constructed on the right side of the church in 1315 at the behest of his wife Maria. This additional funerary chapel houses the tombs of Maria and Michael. The building served as a nunnery after the conquest; the Patriarchate relocated here from the Church of the Holy Apostles in 1455 and remained until 1586. In the Ottoman era, Sultan Murad III (1574–1595) converted the church into a mosque, naming it Fethiye. The monument underwent extensive restoration between 1845 and 1846. The parekklesion features a narthex and gallery, with its naos crowned by a dome measuring 2.30 m in diameter. The facades reflect the hallmarks of late Byzantine architecture. A brick inscription band adorning the southern facade states: 'Built by Protostrator Michael Glabas Ducas Tarchaneiotes.' On the same facade, a poem by the poet Philes is inscribed upon a marble molding. The dome and walls of the parekklesion are adorned with 14th-century mosaics. The apse portrays the Deesis comprising Christ, the Virgin Mary, and John the Baptist, while Christ Pantokrator occupies the dome center, 12 Old Testament prophets fill the dome flutes, and the vaults depict Saints and the Baptism scene. Istanbul Fethiye Museum is currently closed to visitors due to renovation.
