Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Saint Irene, Istanbul

 
Original - Hagia Irene in Istanbul (late 19th century)
Reason
High resolution encyclopedic picture of the first Christian church built in Constantinople. More recent pictures have more trees and, erm, stuff around the church and don't give as clear a view of the building.
