Istanbul In Photos

Istanbul is one of my favourite cities. At present there is no-one posting an Istanbul Daily Photo, so I thought I would plunder my photo bank to bring a glimpse of this most magical place from my point of view.

İstiklal Caddesi 5 - San Antonio di Padua




İstanbul or northern Italy? This Franciscan church was founded here in 1725; the presebt church dates from 1913. A cool and quiet haven for a rest on a hot
İstanbul day.

Pope John XXIII, pope from 1958 to 1963 preached in this church for 10 years while he was The Vatican's Ambassador to Turkey.
