Kiremit Caddesi is another area to walk around and find areas with rainbow steps and colorful buildings. There is also an area with brightly colored overhead umbrellas.Some of the homes are 200 years. Fener is a former Greek neighborhood. One of the most interesting landmarks is this Red School or Red Castle. Formally, it is the Fener Greek Secondary and High School (Phanar Greek Orthodox College). (Meryem Ana Kanlı Kilise) St. Mary of the Mongols Orthodox Church - Istanbul, formerly known as Constantinople, was the capital of the Byzantine Empire. Maria Palaiologina (Pala iolo geena) was the daughter of the Byzantine Emperor Michael VIII. One of the grandsons of Genghis Khan, the founder of the Mongol Empire was Hulagu Khan and he negotiated for a lady of the imperial family of Constantinople to be added to his number of wives. Maria was chosen by her father to wed Hugalu, but he died before she arrived, so instead she married his son, Abaqa Kha. She became quite influential for Christianity. After her husband died she eventually returned to Constantinople. In 1453, on the day of the Fall of Constantinople, the surroundings of the building saw the last resistance of the Greeks against the invading Ottomans. Due to that, the church got the name Church of the Blood or Bloody Church. This church was associated with Mary but officially dedicated to the Virgin Mary. Due to an order from Mehmet the Conqueror, Saint Mary of the Mongols Orthodox Church is the only Byzantine church of Istanbul that has never been converted to a mosque. Bulgarian St. Stephen Church - is a tin tabernacle or iron church. It is made of factory made components that were transported and built on site. The parts were made in Vienna in the 19th century and transported to Istanbul by ship through the Danube and the Black Sea. It is situated in the historical part of İstanbul, in the bank of Golden Horn, in the Fener district. The main feature is the construction of steel. This church is unique because it is the only iron church in Europe that is currently still operating. Makarri Cafe Kitchen is a great spot to eat! In case you are new here, we are Will and Katy.
