The decoration is impressive, everything is really made of metal, although until you touch it, you completely mistake it for marble, wood ... The church is small, two-storied. From the second floor there is an interesting view of the interior decoration. Stained glass windows give the room a unique atmosphere… There is a very well-maintained courtyard around the building, where you can relax on benches in the shade of spreading trees, a big kind dog in a booth, silence, cleanliness and beauty, natural and man-made… I have repeatedly admired it from the water, traveling on steamboats along the Golden Horn, but I would never have thought that it was completely cast iron. For a variety of impressions, I highly recommend visiting…

One of my favorite places in Istanbul. It's a very beautiful church, the most beautiful I've ever seen. It is made entirely of iron , but you can 't say that . many different symbols are applied on the outside. It is worth taking a look at it from the water . a gorgeous sight , like the whole Balat

A decent church. It is very pleasing to the eye among the many mosques. An impressive structure built entirely of cast iron. The church is active, so you can't take pictures inside. You can buy souvenirs
