Church of St. Anthony of Padua Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
St. Anthony's Church is the largest Roman Catholic church in Istanbul, located on Istiklal Street in Beyoğlu district. It is very interesting to have such a Catholic church in the center of an Islamic country. The entrance of the church is not very conspicuous and easy to miss, but the stained glass windows and some sculptures inside are worth admiring, especially when you have seen many mosques, you will find that this is very special. The original St. Anthony's Church was built in 1725 by Italians in Istanbul - mainly of Genoese and Venetian descent (40,000 people in the early 20th century), and was later demolished. The current building was built on the original site from 1906 to 1912. Venetian neo-Gothic style.

We visited Independence Avenue and found there was an old church, although hidden in the surrounding buildings, this pale red church is still very attractive. It is not big inside, someone is praying religiously, the horn is constantly calling Sister...Sister...
Walking along Taksim Square, you can see this church. From the exterior of the building, it was never thought of as a church. The interior is quiet and solemn, stained glass, lit candles, arched domes, various sculptures... the outside or inside of the church is beautiful!
Istanbul is a place where European civilizations blend with Asian civilizations, and where Catholic culture and Islamic culture compete for each other in history, so it is not difficult to understand that there is such a church in the city center.
On Independence Street, there is a large Catholic church. The building is very distinctive and magnificent. There is a solemn beauty inside. The glass windows are even more beautiful. It is a good place. Come here and feel it.
