Church of Panagia Kamariotissa

Church of the former monastery of Panagia Kamariotissa (Παναγία Καμαριώτισσα) on the island of Heybeliada / Chalkē (Χάλκη). Built in the 11th-12th century, with subsequent 17th, 18th and late 19th century interventions. The surrounding buildings housed at the time of the photo a National Shelter (Εθνική Στέγη) for Greek refugees coming from Asia Minor. The entire complex became Turkish state property in 1942 and has since housed the Naval Highschool (Deniz Lisesi).
