Istanbul, a city with a rich history and diverse culture, has once again surprised both locals and the world community. As a result of the recent discovery, an unusual chapel was found, which raised many questions. Who built it, what was it used for, etc. Archaeologists tried to deal with these questions.
Located among the maze of streets and bustling markets of Istanbul in the Bagjilari district, the chapel was spotted by chance. It was found while studying the map of the city. The location of this place was hidden under layers of time and modernity.
The chapel itself is a fascinating display of craftsmanship, displaying intricate detail and careful design that hints at a deeper purpose. Its architecture defies classification, mixing elements from different eras and cultures, leaving experts confused as to its true origins.
According to local residents, this place was used as a fountain 25-30 years ago. Also, the only thing we managed to find out is that in Ottoman times there was a Greek village in this region. The building was probably built by locals in the late 1800s. Detailed excavations will provide more information. But definitely this chapel should be taken care of and protected.
The researchers also noted that detailed excavations should be carried out in the region to get more information about this place.
One of the most disconcerting aspects of this discovery is the complete absence of historical records or accounts that mention the existence of the chapel. The lack of documented information can lead to speculation and theories that range from a secret meeting place of occult societies to an architectural experiment that was lost in time.
As the chapel's true origins remain shrouded in uncertainty, the importance of its preservation and careful study cannot be overstated. Istanbul authorities have taken measures to ensure the protection of this newly discovered site. Now it is planned to create a special research center near the place where scientists can gather to study and decipher the secrets of the chapel.
