Russian term or phrase: монастырь Богородицы Васской
From a work on architectural monuments of Constantinople. This monastery (or convent) is located in the квартал Васса, the subject of the previous Proz question :-)

Чуть севернее находился квартал Васса. Здесь был монастырь Богородицы Васской, где в начале IX в. приключилась интересная история с одой юной девушкой по имени Феофано.

Explanation:
Odd. The author call it first "монастырь", then "храм". You will want possibly to research to make sure. The more so that it might be either monastery or nunnery/convent.

Also, the spelling of Bassa/Vassa may vary depending on the usage.
