Eski Imaret Mosque (Turkish: Eski Imaret Camii) is a former Eastern Orthodox church converted into a mosque by the Ottomans. The church has traditionally been identified with that belonging to the Monastery of Christ Pantepoptes (Greek: Μονή του Χριστού Παντεπόπτη) meaning Christ the all-seeing. It is the only documented 11th-century church in Istanbul which survives intact and represents a key monument of middle Byzantine architecture.
