Hurrem Sultan
Born in the then Eastern Poland Empire, now Ukraine, to an Orthodox family, she was captured by Crimean Tatars during a slave raid and eventually taken to Istanbul, the Ottoman capital. She entered the Imperial Harem where her name was changed to Hurrem, rose through the ranks and became the favourite of Sultan Suleiman. Breaking Ottoman tradition, he married Hurrem, making her his legal wife. Sultans had previously married only foreign free noble ladies. She was the first imperial consort to receive the title Haseki Sultan. Hurrem remained in the sultan's court for the rest of her life, enjoying a close relationship with Suleiman and having six children with him, including the future sultan, Selim II. Hurrem eventually achieved power, influencing the politics of the Ottoman Empire. Through her husband, she played an active role in affairs of the state. She probably acted as the sultan's advisor, wrote diplomatic letters to King Sigismund II Augustus of Poland (r. 1548–1572) and patronized major public works (including the Haseki Sultan Complex and the Hurrem Sultan Bathhouse). She died in 1558, in Istanbul. Hurrem Sultan is remembered for the remarkable political power and she status she achieved for women in the Turkish Empire, setting off the period known as the the Sultanate of. She rose above all to be lne of the most powerful women of the Ottoman empire with her political abilities, intellect, and beauty, being remembered to all time. (Meryem Uzerli portrayed Hurrem Sultan in the Turkish series ‘Magnificient Century’ (2011-2014).

Istanbul’s Cast Iron Church - The largest prefabricated cast iron structure in the world !
Although it looks like stone, the Bulgarian St. Stephen Church with its richly ornamented façade on the shores of the Golden Horn in Istanbul, Turkey, is made of iron. It was cast in Vienna, floated down the Danube and across the Black Sea on barges, and bolted together here in Istanbul in 1871. It is possibly the largest prefabricated cast iron structure in the world.
The Bulgarian St. Stephen Church was the culmination of a nearly century-long struggle for an independent Bulgarian church, which begun late in the 18th century. Many Bulgarian dioceses were discontent with the supremacy of the Greek clergy—the Bulgarian Orthodox Church being fully subordinated to the Patriarch of Constantinople. Starting from the 1850s the Bulgarians initiated a purposeful struggle against the Greek clerics, demanding their replacement with Bulgarian ones. In order to ease tension, the Ottoman Sultan Abdülaziz granted the right to establish an autonomous Bulgarian Exarchate for the dioceses of Bulgaria in 1870.
Originally, an wooden church stood on the shore of the Golden Horn between Balat and Fener squares, where the current church is located. After this church burnt down, the iron church was built in its place. Iron was chosen in lieu of concrete because of the weak ground conditions. The construction plans were prepared by the Istanbul-based Ottoman Armenian architect Hovsep Aznavur.
An international competition was conducted to produce the prefabricated cast iron parts of the church, won by an Austrian company, R. Ph. Waagner. The prefabricated elements, weighing 500 tons, were produced in Vienna in 1893 to 1896 and transported to Istanbul by ship through the Danube and the Black Sea.
The Bulgarian St. Stephen Church wasn’t the first prefabricated cast iron church, but it was certainly the largest. In the mid-19th century, the United Kingdom shipped hundreds of corrugated iron sheet churches, called Tin Tabernacles, to their colonies all over the globe. These churches were originally expensive, costing more than £2,000 for 500 seats, but they could be easily erected. Eventually, economies of scale reduced their cost to less than a quarter towards the end of the century. Many of these churches survive to this day.
