This grand building style originated in Constantinople, now known as Istanbul. Although a world away from that city, our Delhi does contain a sample of Byzantine architecture. Purani Dilli's Holy Trinity Church too has a domed roof, Byzantine's most distinguishing element. The dome swells out on Faasil Road, beside the Mughal-era Turkman Gate. Inside the building, its bulge is bordered in light blue (see right photo).
The church was erected more than a hundred years earlier. A plaque notes: To the glory of God And in memory of Alexander Charles Maitland The foundation stone of This Church of the Holy Trinity Was laid on Feb. 1, 1904 By his widow Mary R. Maitland
