Agios Panteleimonas Greek Orthodox Church (Greek: Ἱερὸς Ναὸς Ἁγίου Παντελεήμονος Κουσγουντζουκίου, Turkish: Ayios Panteleimon Rum Ortodoks Kilisesi) is a Greek Orthodox church dedicated to Saint Pantaleon located in Kuzguncuk neighborhood of Üsküdar district in Istanbul, Turkey.[1]
The church was opened to worship during the reign of Ottoman Sultan Mahmud II (r. 1808–1839) in 1831. In 1872, the church building had a fire. Designed by architect Nikola Ziko, a new construction began in 1890. Two years later, the church reopened to service.[2]
