Sveti Stefan Bulgarian Church (Istanbul, Turkey)

The St Stephan Church in Istanbul, also known as Bulgarian Church, is located in the Fener neighbourhood on the shore of the Golden Horn. It is also called Iron church because it was built from pre-fabricated iron elements. The style of the church is a mixture of Neo-Gothic and Neo-Baroque. In 1849 duke Stefan Bogoridi donated the lands on which the church is situated. The reason for the iron construction of the church, designed by architect Hovsep Aznavur, is that the ground on which it is built is sandy and not stable. The Iron elements were cast in Vienna, transported by ship to Istanbul and then assembled and connected with about 4 million bolts, nuts, rivets and welds. After a building time of 1.5 years it was finished in 1898 and officially consecrated in September of the same year. St Stephan is one of the few preserved iron churches in the world and the only East Orthodox example that still exists. In the churchyard are the tombs of several Bulgarian clergymen. The Orthodox Church is operational and open for visits. To get there: Bus: 55T or 99A Ferry: From Eminonu and stop Eyup, address is Balat. Working Hours: 9:00 to 17:00 daily Entrance: Free
