[WRITTEN AND PHOTOGRAPHED BY CHRIS HELLIER]
"[A] glimpse of a perfect ceiling is to be caught by any one who rows up the Asiatic shore [of the Bosporus] from Anadolu Hisar... This ceiling, and the whole room to which it belongs, is the most precious thing of its kind in all Constantinople, if not in all the world." |
