Lonely Planet review for Christ Church

Designed by GE Street (who also did London’s Law Courts), the cornerstone of this Anglican church was laid in 1858 by Lord Stratford de Redcliffe, known as ‘The Great Elchi’ ( elçi, meaning ambassador) because of his paramount influence in mid-19th-century Ottoman affairs. The church, dedicated in 1868 as the Crimean Memorial Church, is the largest of the city’s Protestant churches. It was restored and renamed in the mid-1990s.
