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.
