St. Stephen’s Bulgarian Orthodox Church (Sveti Stefan Kilisesi)
Description
This Bulgarian Orthodox church is novel in that it is built entirely out of Iron. The Bulgarian community wished to split from the main Eastern Orthodox church as they wanted to have services in their own language rather than Greek. In an attempt to keep control over the church the Sultan agreed only on the condition that they had a church built within three months - which is why they had a iron building fabricated, shipped and assembled to meet the three month deadline.
