This image depicts the interior of the Crimean Memorial Church, located in Beyoğlu, Istanbul, Turkey, viewed from the nave towards the chancel and altar. The architecture is characterized by high, vaulted ceilings with Romanesque-style arches and stone walls featuring horizontal banding in the upper sections. At the far end, a large, circular stained-glass rose window is positioned above the chancel. Tall, arched windows with stained glass are visible along the side walls, primarily on the left. A prominent, elaborately carved dark wooden chancel screen, extending approximately two-thirds of the wall height, separates the nave from the elevated chancel. Within the chancel, the altar is draped with a patterned cloth, backed by a reredos or altarpiece, and adorned with candlesticks and a crucifix. Below the chancel screen, at the altar level, are decorative panels or a frieze depicting what appear to be religious figures. The nave is furnished with multiple rows of empty folding chairs, each featuring a light-colored seat and a dark frame, arranged in a central aisle and two side sections. The floor is covered with a patterned tile, predominantly reddish-brown and dark gray diamond shapes. Along the right wall, several plain wooden benches are situated. On the left side of the nave, adjacent to the chancel screen, a white stone baptismal font stands, accompanied by a brass candle holder and a dark wooden pulpit or lectern with a crucifix attached to the wall beneath it. Artificial floodlight fixtures are mounted high on the side walls, casting light upwards. The scene is entirely devoid of human presence.
