Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Saint Irene, Istanbul
- 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.
- Articles this image appears in
- Constantine I and Christianity, Hagia Eirene
- Creator
- Sébah & Joaillier, photographers. Restored by Michel Vuijlsteke.

- Weak Oppose Yeah there are trees and stuff now, but I'm not convinced that a good, modern photo is impossible. The one in Hagia Irene isn't too bad, and the color really brings this place to life. Makeemlighter (talk) 06:22, 2 April 2009 (UTC)
