Surp Levon Church, Armenian Catholic church in Kadıköy, Turkey.

The church building features a bell tower with four bells, three imported from Venice and one preserved from the previous structure.

The church, completed in 1911 under Archpriest Andon Iskenderyan, represents the last church constructed with an Ottoman imperial decree in Turkey.

The main altar displays an 1890 painting of Saint Leo by Italian artist Giovanni Cingolani, reflecting the church's Armenian Catholic heritage.

The church holds regular services and maintains exceptional acoustics, making it suitable for musical performances throughout the year.

A rooster figure, symbolizing divine wisdom, stands at the top of the bell tower overlooking the Altıyol Square neighborhood.
