St Peter Orthodox Church

Most of the city's 1200-strong Christian population worships at this fine Orthodox church dating to 1860. Rebuilt with Russian assistance after a devastating earthquake in 1900, the church is fronted by a lovely courtyard up some steps from the street, and contains some beautiful icons, an ancient stone lectern and valuable church plate. Enter from Hürriyet Caddesi 53.
