For Hungarians the main sights of Istanbul: the royal palace of the Topkapi Sarai, the Sublime Porte (the govermental office of the Empire) and the prison fortress of the Seven Towers (Yedikule) symbolize the oppressive might of the Ottoman Empire. But there are also monuments with gentler connotations, such as the Zeyrek Cami which was called in Byzantine times the Monastery of the St Saviour Pantocrator. It is the burial place of Empress Irene who was the daughter of St. Ladislaus (Laszlo), the king of Hungary and married to the Byzantine Emperor John II Commenus. Her piety earned her sainthood in the Orthodox church and her portrait is preserved among the mosaics of the gallery of the Hagia Sophia, along with her husband and her son.
