Ma kahi kokoke i ʻehā mau makahiki ma hope o ka hoʻololi ʻia ʻana o Hagia Sophia i hale pule, e hoʻomaka ana kahi hale pule ʻē aʻe o Byzantine ma Constantinople e hana ma ke ʻano he hale pule. ʻO kēia ka Monastery kaulana ʻo Hora, kahi hale hōʻikeʻike no kanahikukūmāiwa mau makahiki.
E like me ka mea i hōʻike ʻia e ka nūpepa kākoʻo aupuni Yeni Şafak, ua manaʻo ʻia ʻo Hora Monastery e wehe i kona mau puka ma ke ʻano he hale pule no ka pule Pōʻalima ma Pepeluali 23. Ua hoʻoholo ʻo Pelekikena Turkish Recep Tayyip Erdogan i ka hoʻoholo no kēia hoʻi i 2020 me ka hoʻoholo Hagia Sophia. akā, ua "hoʻopaʻa ʻia" nā hoʻolālā e hiki ai ke hoʻokō ʻia kekahi hana hoʻihoʻi.
ʻO ka hale pule i nīnau ʻia, ʻo ia ka luakini koʻikoʻi ma Istanbul ma hope o Hagia Sophia, ua hoʻohuli ʻia i hale pule e ka Ottomans, a laila, ma ke kauoha a Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, ua lilo ia i hale hōʻikeʻike.
I ka makahiki 2019 naʻe, ua hoʻopuka ʻia kahi hoʻoholo e ka ʻAha Kiekie Turkish e hoʻololi iā ia i hale pule. I ka makahiki 2020, ua hoʻoholo ʻia e lilo ka mana o ka monument i ka Directorate of Religious Affairs, ma Turkish Diyanet.
Wahi a ka media Turkish, "ʻo ka hale pule mōʻaukala, i hoʻolako ʻia me nā ʻulaʻula i hana ʻia, e manaʻo ʻia e wehe ʻia no ka hoʻomana ma ka Pōʻalima, Pepeluali 23." Ua hōʻike pū ʻia "ua mālama ʻia nā mosaics a me nā frescoes i ka wā o ka hoʻihoʻi ʻana a hiki ke loaʻa i nā malihini."
Aia ʻo Hora Monastery ma ka ʻaoʻao komohana komohana o ke kikowaena mōʻaukala o Istanbul.
He aie kona inoa i kona wahi - ma waho o nā pā pā o ka imp. Konesetine ka Nui. ʻO "Horion" a i ʻole "Hora" ka poʻe Byzantine i kapa i ka ʻāina ma waho o nā pā pā. I ka manawa imp. Ua kūkulu ʻo Theodosius II i nā pā hou o Constantinople, ua mālama ka monastery i ka inoa kahiko "ma Hora", ʻoiai ʻaʻole ia ma waho o nā pā. ʻIke ʻia ka monastery no kāna mau mosaic waiwai - i waena o nā mea kaulana loa ka mosaic me kekahi o nā mea hoʻokumu o ka luakini, ʻo Theodore Metochite, e hōʻike ana i ka luakini hou iā Kristo. ʻElua mau pā hale i hoʻonani ʻia me nā mosaics a me nā frescoes. ʻO nā mosaics o ka exonarthex (porch o waho) he ʻeono mau ʻāpana e hōʻike ana iā Kristo e hoʻōla ana i nā maʻi like ʻole. Nui nā kiʻiʻoniʻoni e hoʻonani i nā domes a me nā paia. ʻO nā kiʻi i waena o nā kiʻi Byzantine nani loa. ʻO nā waihoʻoluʻu he'ōmaʻomaʻo, he kūlike nā māhele o nā lālā, a he kūlohelohe nā hiʻohiʻona o nā helehelena.
ʻAʻole ʻike maopopo ʻia ka mōʻaukala mua o ka monastery. Hoʻokumu ka moʻomeheu i ke kenekulia 6 e St. Theodore, a ua pili pū ʻia ʻo Crispus, ka hūnōna kāne o ka imp. Phocas (ke kenekulia 7). I kēia lā ua hōʻike ʻia ua kūkulu ʻia ka halepule ma waena o 1077-1081, i ka wā o Imp. ʻO Alexius I Comnenus, ma ke kahua o nā hale kahiko mai nā kenekulia 6 a me 9. Ua pōʻino nui ia, ma muli paha o ke olai, a ua hoʻoponopono ʻia i ka makahiki 1120 e Isaac Comnenus. Ua kōkua ʻo Theodore Metochites, ka mokuʻāina Byzantine, theologian, kahu o nā mea hana, i kāna hana hou ʻana (1316-1321) a ʻo ia ke kuleana no ka hoʻohui ʻana o ka exonarthex, ka hale pule hema a me ka hoʻonani ʻana o ka luakini, kahi i loaʻa nā mosaics a me nā frescoes. ola a hiki i keia la. Eia kekahi, ua hāʻawi ʻo ia i ka waiwai nui i ka monastery, i ka manawa like ke kūkulu ʻana i kahi haukapila a hāʻawi ʻia i kāna ʻohi puke kupaianaha, a ma hope iho ua huki ʻia i nā loea kaulana i kēia kikowaena. Ua hoʻololi ʻia ka monastery i hale pule ma ke kauoha a ka Grand Vizier o Sultan Bayazid II (1481-1512) a ua ʻike ʻia ma Turkish ʻo ka Mosque Kahriye. Ua luku ʻia kekahi hapa nui o ka hoʻonani o ka luakini. I ka makahiki 1948, ua hoʻokō ʻia kahi papahana hoʻihoʻi, a mai ka makahiki 1958 ke hana nei ka monument ma ke ʻano he hale hōʻikeʻike.
