Aya Dimitri Kilisesi, Orthodox church in Karagümrük, Istanbul, Turkey.
The Aya Dimitri Kilisesi exhibits traditional Greek Orthodox architecture with an interior featuring religious murals and an ornate iconostasis within its structural design.
Built in 1204 by Emperor Nicolas Canabée, the church underwent reconstruction in 1730 following a severe fire that affected the entire Balat neighborhood.
The church maintains regular Orthodox services and ceremonies, representing a continuation of religious practices within Istanbul's Greek Orthodox community.
Located in the Fatih district, the church welcomes visitors during specific hours and includes additional structures such as a school and the Aya Ilyas fountain.
During the 17th century, this religious structure held the distinguished position of a patriarchal church within the Orthodox community of Constantinople.
