A niche with poem at İstanbul Archaeology Museum’s garden, stemming from St. Polyeuktos at İstanbul. First quarter of 6th century. Comissioned by: Anicia Iuliana (Member of the Byzantine Imperial Family). Destruction date: ? Cause of destruction: ? Location: Sarachane The great church dedicated to Saint Polyeuktos of Malatya (Melitene) is a work of Anicia Juliana, a protector of the arts and one of the most powerful women of the Byzantine dynasty. The church was found during the construction excavations for the of the Municipal Palace in 1960 and later during the excavations of various roads and The Haşim İşcan Underpass. A long poem written on architectural pieces tells success stories and noble family bonds of Anicia Juliana. This challenging architecture that belongs to the 6th century bears remarkable features such as peacock motives, columns with glass and stone inlays, gilded mosaics and Iranian/Sassanid ornamentations. Materials for the construction and decoration of the church were brought from Anatolia, Italy and Tunisia. Besides its magnificent architecture, the Polyeuktos Church was at the same time a special stop on the ceremonial roads of Constantinople where imperial candle was changed. Polyeuktos Church was damaged in an earthquake in 1010 and plundered by crusaders who reached the city in 1204. Holy relics and some of the architectural pieces were taken to Venice whereas others were transported to Barcelona and Vienna. Columns and marble revetments taken from Istanbul can still be seen on the façades of St Mark’s in Venice.

Where these numbers come from

Places, coordinates, operators, which operator serves which pair, and every distance on this page are real and come from open data. Where a corridor has a filed timetable the departure times are real too, and ferry fares are the prices the operators publish themselves.

Derived from service area No carrier record names this exact pair. The operators listed publish a service area covering both places at a distance their mode plausibly carries people, which is evidence that the corridor is served and not evidence of a specific service. Pages state which, because presenting the two as the same thing would be dishonest.

Where no operator publishes a fare for a corridor, the price here is our own estimate, worked out from the real distance and the real operator through a fare curve that follows lead time, day of the week and season. It tells you roughly what the journey costs. It is not a seat anyone has agreed to sell, and the payment step will not take it.
