Recently listed as one of the thirty must-see museums in the world, the Chora Museum is small, but filled with incredibly well preserved Byzantine mosaics and frescoes. A little out of the way for tourists, but definitely one of the most beautiful places I've seen in Istanbul.
This section of the ceiling was my favorite part of the Church turned mosque turned museum (a common theme in Turkey)... take a look for yourself at more details: http://www.choramuseum.com/
