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…

The most beautiful Orthodox church in Istanbul. Located in the Balat district, it looks directly at the Golden Horn embankment. From Galatsky Bridge, you can walk along the embankment or take a bus. It belongs to unique buildings: the only Orthodox church in the world made of iron structures. The decoration of the temple is gorgeous, admired! The order and cleanliness are premium, which can not be said about all the cultural heritage sites of Istanbul! The temple is functioning. The cheapest prices for souvenirs, magnets. It is obligatory to visit!

The only Orthodox church where we were welcome! A very unusual building, completely made of metal, surprises with its exterior and interior decoration. People around you are happy to communicate and switch to Russian. Definitely worth a visit to this place on the shore of the strait.
