Greek Othodox Patriarchate, Fatih, İstanbul, Turkey
The Cathedral of St George itself is not very big and dates back to 1836. It is a part of the Greek Patriarchate compound and located in the Fener area of Istanbul overlooking the Golden Horn.
This is definitely one of the oldest and an important place of worship in Istanbul – something I discovered quite by chance. I am glad I did too.
See this picture below? When I entered the church and saw that light filtering through, my heart skipped a beat. For a moment I felt as though I was surrounded by a halo.
