A Catholic church set up in a traditional Antakya house near Kurtuluş Caddesi; affected by the earthquake.

Safety warning

When walking in the damaged historic bazaar fabric, follow scaffolding and construction site warnings.

Its story

The church was created in the 20th century by converting a traditional Antakya house with a courtyard into a place of worship. Run by Capuchin priests, the church was known for hosting pilgrims and travelers in its guesthouse. In the 2023 earthquakes the historic fabric around it was heavily damaged and the church was also affected. The repair process is ongoing, together with the city's other places of worship.
