Panaghia Chryzokephalos (The Golden Head Virgin) Church has become Fatih Camii.

Haghia Sophia, this wonderful byzantine church in the middle of a garden overlooking the sea, was transformed into a mosque by the Ottomans. Between 1916 and 1918 during the Russian occupation, it was used as a depot. In 1964 it was finally opened as a museum. The monument is decorated with splendid frescoes from the 13th century. They are the most beautiful homogeneous group of frescoes that can be seen in Turkey.

The Hagia Sophia (Greek: Ἁγία Σοφία, meaning "Holy Wisdom"; Turkish: Ayasofya), now the Hagia Sophia Museum, is a former church and mosque located in the city of Trabzon in the north-eastern part of Turkey. It dates back to the 13th century when Trabzon was the capital of the Empire of Trebizond. It is located near the seashore and 2 miles west of the Comnenon fortress. It is one of a few Byzantine sites still existent in the area.
The Hagia Sophia church was built in Trebizond during the reign of Manuel I between 1238 and 1263. After Mehmed II conquered the city in 1461 the church was converted into a mosque. During the brief period of the city in Russia's hands during World War I, the site was used by the Russian military as a makeshift hospital and depot. Afterwards it was put back into use as a mosque, until 1964 when it was turned into a museum which it remains to this day. From 1958-64 the site was restored with the help of Edinburgh University and the General Directorate of Foundations.
