Adalar, İstanbul
A historic school within the Monastery of the Holy Trinity on Heybeliada's Ümit Hill, unable to teach since 1971.
Its story
The seminary opened in 1844 on the grounds of the Monastery of the Holy Trinity (Aya Triada) to train Orthodox clergy. The present building was rebuilt after the 1894 earthquake and has a rich library. Teaching was suspended in 1971 because of a regulation on private higher education institutions, and its reopening has been on the agenda for many years. The monastery's church and garden receive visitors at certain times.
