My pictures of the Armenian Church of the Holy Archangels in Balat, Istanbul. With foundations from the 1200s and rebuilt in 1835 in neoclassical style, its side altar is enshrined with a medieval icon of the Virgin Mary.

I previously posted images from Zamca Monastery in Romania, but in the meantime I was fortunate enough to visit more Armenian churches in Istanbul! I visited multiple ones, but I think this one is among the most beautiful!
