Located in Silivrikapi, Balikli Church is one of the sacred grounds for Byzantine Empire where the Royal Family used to spend a week during the Ascension time. The present day church which is a rather late structure dating to 19th century is built over the sacred pool. According to Byzantine traditions, the fish in the pool is related to the fall of the city. In the small graveyard, there are tombs of Greek Patriarchs with the crosses and double headed eagles.
