Sites

Following a collective initiative, a website has been created by Dr. Anestis Vasilakeris (Boğaziçi University-Istanbul), in collaboration with several colleagues, with the purpose of promoting the preservation of the Stoudios Monastery/Imrahor Camii site. Stoudios has been recently removed from the jurisdiction of St. Sophia Museum, in order to be restored as a mosque. The aim of the website is to raise awareness about the precarious state of this prominent monument, to draw attention to its significance as cultural heritage of the humanity, to promote further study, to invite for rehabilitation alternatives, to endorse the dialogue between the scholars, the stakeholders and the civil society, as well as to update regularly the international community about the condition of the monument.
