Cathedral of the Annunciation, İskenderun

The Cathedral of the Annunciation displays traditional brick architecture with dedicated spaces for religious ceremonies and community gatherings within its interior design.

The cathedral's construction, initiated in 1858 by the Order of the Carmelites, reached completion in 1871, followed by reconstruction from 1888 to 1901 after fire damage.

The Cathedral of the Annunciation functions as the central Catholic institution for the Apostolic Vicariate of Anatolia, serving the regional Latin Catholic population.
