On Wednesday, October 8, 2014, the feast of Saints Sergius and Bacchus,
His All-Holiness visited the former Byzantine Church dedicated
to the memory of these saints.
The current building's construction is traced back to the Roman Emperor
Justinian and his wife Theodora.
In 1497, it was converted to a mosque and currently bears the name
of Küçük Ayasofya Camii, that is, Little Haghia Sophia.
