Church of SS Peter and Paul, Istanbul, Catholic church in Karaköy district, Istanbul, Turkey.
The church building contains a central cupola decorated with a blue sky and gold stars, incorporating sections of old Genoese fortification walls.
The Fossati brothers completed the reconstruction of the church between 1841 and 1843, following multiple destructions by fires in previous centuries.
The church displays an important religious artifact: a Virgin of the Hodegetria icon transferred from a Dominican church in Crimea.
Located at Galata Kulesi Sokak 44 in Kuledibi, the church provides Mass services in Italian for the local Maltese Catholic community.
The building includes a crypt with graves and a yard containing inscribed gravestones, plus relics of Saints Renatus, Thomas, Dominic, Peter, and Paul.
