The aim of the publication is to highlight the construction design of the church of Hagia Irene in Istanbul. It is a unique building structure, which was created in the 4th century. This is even before the construction of Hagia Sophia which is the most important Byzantine buildings. At the same time is located in its vicinity. Given that Hagia Sophia is surface-covered with plaster from the inside and for the most part from the outside, is not visible building material and construction. This means that in the case of Hagia Irene we can well observe the nature of structures, materials, and also to understand the construction sequence. Hagia Irene becomes a great example for teaching architecture in Byzantine style. Such an approach, however, can also be used for other architectural styles of churches, if the structure is visible from the outside and inside.
