Hagia Triada Greek Orthodox Church

Hagia Triada stands as a testament to Istanbul's rich tapestry of cultures and religions. This church has served a loyal congregation since its construction in 1880.

Founded by the Greek Orthodox community after years of tumult, it is recognized as the largest Greek Orthodox church in Istanbul. The church was severely damaged during the anti-minority events of September 1955 and survived a subsequent arson attempt. After extensive restoration, it reopened in 2003 and continues to be an active place of worship for about 150 parishioners.
