Evangelistra Greek Orthodox Church

Three white monoplexes, one standard issue, and two (below) with pagoda-style roofs These three outposts can be found surrounding the church of Evangelistra in the Dolapdere neighbourhood of Istanbul.

Dolapdere (translated as "cupboard stream") was once a thriving Greek part of the city, but it is now home to auto repair shops, junk markets and the Bilgi University campus. All three pretty much the same thing.

Update, Dec. 21, 2019: two of the three are still there.
