Corinthian capital from (according to John Freely) the Latin Church of St Michael, now serving as a wellhead in Rüstem Paşa Han, Galata.
Go HERE for all the Byzantine churches in Istanbul
Aya Irini, apparently the first church in Constantinople.
Quadriga, Basilica di San Marco, Venice. This was the symbol of imperial Byzantine power before the Fourth Crusade in 1204 ended this power.
Aya Sofya, Trabzon. This is where the Byzantine Empire relocated after the sack of Constantinople in 1204.
Arap Camii - there is a persistent legend that this was the first mosque in Istanbul. There seems to be no evidence for this.
