One of the few Istanbul churches whose foundation goes back to the 6th century: Saint Andrew in Krisei, converted to a mosque in 1486-1491 and later a Halveti dervish lodge. The türbe of the Sufi master Sünbül Efendi next to it is a popular pilgrimage spot.

Good to know
- In the yard, look for the long-dead cypress with its chain inside a small round building: folk tale says the chain struck whoever told the truth.
- Also in the yard: a column-shaped fountain of 1737.
- The tradition of lighting minarets on the eve of Mawlid is said to have begun here.
