House of the Virgin Mary, Religious shrine in Selçuk, Turkey
The stone building contains a chapel with an altar, a statue of the Virgin Mary, and a small chamber believed to be her sleeping quarters.
Two Lazarist missionaries located this structure in 1891 following the published visions of German nun Anne Catherine Emmerich from the early 1800s.
Both Christian and Muslim pilgrims visit this religious site, demonstrating its significance across different faiths and spiritual traditions.
The entrance fee is 400 Turkish Lira in 2024, and visitors can reach the location by taxi from Selçuk, with a journey time of 15 minutes.
