Seat of the patriarchate

So it was the seat of the patriarchate till 1587, according to the article. Whither did the seat move after that? Rwflammang (talk) 15:04, 25 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

After 1587 the patriarchate moved to the church called Theotokos Palation (later known as Vlach Sarayi) in Fener: then in 1600 it occupied a convent of nuns at the Petrion (the fortified part of Fener), and finally a new church, St. George, also in Fener, was built.

Moving page

Hello, I suggest moving the page to the new title of “Fethiye Mosque (Istanbul)” as it is officially being used as a mosque now. The city within the paranthesis is needed because there are other Fethiye Mosques in different cities and they are expressed with paranthesis. See Fethiye Mosque (disambigustion). Thanks for the heads up by the way. Wikimicky1 (talk) 04:02, 16 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hallo Wikimicky1, and thanks for writing! This is not the first time that someone request this name change for this building. the reason is that the building, except for a few years, has always been a mosque for the last hundreds of years. In other words, its history has nothing to do with that of Ayasofia and Kariye. Why then do name change attempts here fail? Because on wikipedia for the title of an article you choose what is the most common name of an article, and for this mosque it is the name of the church. This is due to the mosaics of the parekklesion, which have been studied extensively, while the main building's greek name is only of historical importance. If, however, you are still convinced, I recommend that you officially request the name change. There will be a discussion, and in case of consensus, we will change the name. Please go here for instructions. Cheers, Alex2006 (talk) 08:28, 16 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
