Surp Yerrortutyun Armenian Church, Armenian Catholic church in Beyoğlu, Turkey
The Surp Yerrortutyun Armenian Church features pink exterior walls and stands behind a tall wall near Taksim Square in Istanbul's Beyoğlu district.
Initially constructed by Austrian priests in the early 1700s, the church underwent reconstruction after fires in 1762 and 1831, with Armenian Catholics acquiring it in 1857.
The church name Vosgeperan refers to Saint John Chrysostom, the Archbishop of Constantinople, known for his influential religious writings and preaching.
Located steps away from Istiklal Caddesi, visitors can find the church entrance through a narrow street despite its concealed position behind high walls.
The church interior displays classical architectural elements, including Corinthian columns and ceiling paintings depicting apostles, designed by the Balyan family.
