The Church of the Holy Saviour in Chora (Turkish Kariye Muzesi, Kariye Camii, or Kariye Kilisesi - the Chora Museum, Mosque or Church) is considered to be one of the most beautiful surviving examples of a Byzantine church. The church is situated in Istanbul, in the Edirnekapı neighborhood, which lies in the western part of the municipality (belediye) of Fatih.
