Not the best photo of the trip, but possibly my favourite story. In the 1860s the Bulgarian community in Istanbul apparently had a falling-out with the Greek Orthodox Patriarchy, and thus felt the need for their own church. So they had a church made in Vienna, cast entirely out of iron, and shipped to them in pieces in 1871. This is the Church of St. Stephen of the Bulgars. The internal decorations still look quite like a Greek Orthodox church.
