Its story
The Sveti Georgi Church was built in 1880 for Edirne's Bulgarian Orthodox community. The three-aisled basilica-plan building covers an area of about 320 square meters. Neglected for many years, the church was restored with contributions from the General Directorate of Foundations and Bulgaria and reopened in 2004. Located in the quiet streets of the Kıyık area, it is one of the buildings showing Edirne's multicultural past.
