ΠΕΡΙΛΗΨΗ
Although Late Byzantine religious architecture in Constantinople is related to the rule of the Palaeologan dynasty (1261-1453), most projects were undertaken before 1330 during the reign of Emperor Andronikos II (r. 1282-1328). Mostly private foundations, often founded by women from imperial and aristocratic families, all surviving religious buildings are additions to pre-existing churches. The majority of these buildings are funerary chapels, which reveal late Byzantine cultural preoccupation with the hereafter. |
