St. John's Cathedral, Catholic cathedral in Izmir, Turkey
The neoclassical brick cathedral features a high altar painting depicting St. John with an eagle while writing his Gospel.
Construction began in 1862 with support from Sultan Abdülaziz, who donated 11,000 gold Turkish Lira, and the cathedral opened in 1874.
The cathedral displays paintings of early bishops Ignatius of Antioch, Polycarp of Smyrna, and Irenaeus against the ancient Smyrna background.
The cathedral holds English mass at 10:00, Turkish mass at 12:00, and Polish mass at 18:00 on Sundays, with visitor hours from 15:00 to 17:00.
