St. Anna Church, Byzantine church in Çarşı Mahallesi, Turkey

Saint Anne Church features three semi-circular apses, with a rectangular structure measuring 8.94 meters in length and 6.59 meters in width.

The church underwent restoration in 884/85 during the joint reigns of Basil I, Leo VI, and Alexander, as documented by an inscription above the south door.

The interior walls display frescoes including Hagia Anna Galaktotrofousa and scenes depicting Joachim and Anna, reflecting Byzantine religious artistry.

The building received complete restoration between 2021 and 2022, revealing previously hidden frescoes beneath layers of whitewash.

A classical sarcophagus forms the tympanum above the main entrance, featuring carvings of a standing warrior and winged Nike.
