The complex which has administrative offices of Greek Patriarcate has been the seat of the Ecumenical Patriarcate of Contantinople, the leader of all the Christians in the Ottoman Empire under the Sultan's protection. Among the relics displayed in the church, we can mention the tombs the Saint Omonia, Thephano and Saint Euphemia; the Patriarchal throne and portative mosaic icon of Virgin Mary.
