Surp Yerrortutyun Armenian Catholic Church, Armenian Catholic church on İstiklâl Avenue in Beyoğlu, Turkey
The church features pink-colored walls both inside and outside, with classical architectural elements including fluted columns, arches, and detailed reliefs throughout the structure.
Established in 1836, the current building replaced earlier wooden structures that were destroyed by fires in 1762 and 1831 before being acquired by Armenian Catholics in 1857.
The church incorporates Western architectural influences with Ancient Greek and Roman styles, displaying oil paintings of apostles and multiple altars dedicated to different saints.
Located near Taksim Square, the church stands behind a tall wall on a side street, making it necessary to specifically search for its entrance.
The church bears the name Vosgeperan, meaning Golden Mouthed in Armenian, honoring Saint John Chrysostom, a notable Archbishop of Constantinople.
