The Zeyrek Mosque began service in the 12th century as an Eastern Orthodox monastery. It grew dramatically over the following decades, acquiring a library, a hospital, a second church, a courtyard, and a tomb in less than a century. During the Latin occupation of Constantinople, the complex was the Vatican clergy's see until the restoration of the Palaiologos dynasty reinstated its Orthodox monks.
