Surp Takavor Church, Armenian church in Kadıköy, Turkey
The Surp Takavor Church displays a combination of Armenian and Ottoman architectural elements, with two carved 19th-century tombs situated in its adjacent square.
Built in the 17th century, the church underwent a major reconstruction in 1814, funded by Harutyun Amira Nordukyan, followed by repairs after an earthquake in 1858.
The interior features an antechapel with a blue sky ceiling and houses religious artworks, including a gold-and-ivory representation of John the Baptist's head.
Located at Muvakkithane Caddesi No. 44 in Kadıköy, Istanbul, the church remains active and maintains regular services for the Armenian community.
A dedicated caretaker maintains the church grounds and shares personal connections to the historical tombs, having known descendants of those buried there.
