a beautiful Orthodox church, which I would not call Orthodox, because inside there are Catholic chairs, stained glass windows in the exterior of the church. Most likely, this is a Byzantine-style church, that is, the church that was before the split in the church and its further disintegration into Catholicism and Orthodoxy, which is why it is interesting
A nice and beautiful church, in the center of a bustling city, a place of tranquility, the architecture for an Orthodox church is very unusual, no church in Russia is like this
An island of the Orthodox faith. Peace and quiet. And also an interesting historical object. Be sure to come in. Pray. Get new strength and blessings for righteous deeds!!!!
If you are in Istanbul and you are Orthodox in Taksim Square, then be sure to come in. You will definitely find peace and quiet in this bustling city in this church.
A wonderful church. You rest in it with your soul and body. There is always an opportunity to pray and light a candle. There are many ancient icons and even a large icon of Paisius of Svyatogorets.
We were in August 2023, the entrance to the courtyard from Istiklal Street, near Taksim Square, a beautiful church, I recommend visiting, there is a schedule of services for passage inside, so the doors are closed at normal times
I really liked it, the courtyard and the facade from the street are very beautiful, everything inside is also beautiful, calm, quiet, I recommend you to visit, unusual.
It was impossible to get inside because of the work schedule: a couple of hours. Moreover, many churches work this way. We took a couple of photos of the surrounding area. That's it!
A very soulful place! We went with the family for Christmas. Old icons at the entrance, you can take candles and put them on, paying for them according to the state of the soul.
I lower my rating for misleading: it is written everywhere that the temple is open during the day, but in fact it is not so, and they came and could only go into the "dressing room" and walk around the territory. And the temple is so grandiose that, for sure, there is something to see and feel inside...
The church is beautiful. We arrived, the church was closed, we got only into the vestibule. We were about to leave, the "headman" of the temple noticed us, called us and put us inside.
They wrote notes. We talked with the "caretaker", he was happy to show us everything and told us.
A beautiful ancient temple. It's easy to find, right near Taksim Square. You can pray and put candles on, or you can just go in and see, it's very interesting, I advise you to visit.
