On the Golden Horn between Fener and Balat 1892, this church was built directly on the waterfront road. In the vernacular it is called the “Iron Church”, because it completely – including the columns and galleries on the inside – from cast iron was created after the Sultan of the building allegedly only on condition has allowed that he completed in one month is made. Indeed, the Church in parts of 1871 in Vienna poured by ship to Istanbul brought here and assembled on shore. Only the iconostasis is made of wood and comes from Russia.
The church stands out not only by her unusual material into the eye, but is also a symbol of the independence struggle of the Bulgarian municipality of the Greek Orthodox Church. Daily from 9-16 clock opens.
