Exploring Istanbul's Hidden Gem: The Bulgarian Iron Church

Istanbul, Turkey - the Bulgarian Church in Istanbul. Let's visit Istanbul, Turkey, and let's visit the famous Bulgarian Church (also known as the Bulgarian Iron Church) which is a Bulgarian Orthodox church made of prefabricated cast iron elements in the neo-Gothic style. The Bulgarian Iron Church belongs to the Bulgarian minority in the city. The richly ornamented Bulgarian Iron Church is a three-domed cross-shaped basilica. The altar faces the Golden Horn and a 40 m-high belfry, the six bells of which were cast in Yaroslavl, rises above the narthex. Initially, a small wooden church was erected on the shore of the Golden Horn between Balat and Fener squares (near Eyüp District), where the current church is located. The Bulgarian Iron Church was completed in 1898 and inaugurated by Exarch Joseph on 8 September that year.

Nice church inside, I drove passed it many times on the outside though. There are Masonic symbols right above the main entrance, and around the windows. See the gold thing at 1:39

Wunderful ancient architechture preserved up to this stage. Stirs up one's interest to visit Istanbul. Gold is so regal! Back ground music is solemn....🕊🕊🕊
