St. Helena Church, Catholic church in Karşıyaka, Turkey.
The church exterior features Gothic Revival elements with pointed arches, ribbed vaults, and flying buttresses constructed from brick and sandstone materials.
French architect Raymond Charles Péré designed this religious structure in 1904, following his work on other important buildings in İzmir including the Konak Clock Tower.
The construction received support from multiple religious communities, with donations from both Catholic groups and the local Muslim population of Karşıyaka.
Religious services continue regularly at the church, which maintains its original function as a gathering place for the Catholic community of İzmir Province.
The interior showcases an Italian marble altar in the apse, while Marmara marble adorns the columns and heads along the central nave.
