Hagia Eirene

Behind the Hagia Sofia (the Church of the Divine Wisdom) lies Hagia Eirene, dedicated to the Divine Peace. I like the combination of dedications very much, especially as both are abstractons made to be female divinities. ;-)

Its in the first courtyard of the Topkapi Palace, but before the actual museum entrance. I've never managed to find it open though. But it is used for concerts and things, so one should be able to enter, at times - or with the right ticket...
