    Truly a hidden gem in the Galata neighborhood. İf you're lucky enough to visit when it's open, take advantage and go in. The church is stunning and very peaceful.

    (Translated by Google) Today, my wife and I wanted to enter out of our curiosity, they let us in and they welcomed us very friendly. They even allowed us to enter their rituals. We sat in the back rows silently and respectfully, it felt very strange for us. It is definitely a place to be seen, but my humble advice to visitors is that you should not talk or stand still during the ceremony. First of all, please respect everyone. (Original) Bugün eşimle merakımızdan girmek istedik izin verdiler ve çok güzel ağırladılar çok güleryüzlü karşıladılar. Ayinlerine girmemize dahi izin verdiler sessizce ve saygıyla arka sıralarda oturduk çok tuhaf histi bizim için , orada bizi içeri alan abilere teşekkür ederiz içeri buyrun diyen keşiş'e saygılar sunarız.Güzel bir deneyimdi bizim için. Kesinlikle görülmesi gereken bir mekan ama ziyaretçilere nacizade tavsiyem kesinlikle ayin sırasında konusmayın ve ayakta beklemeyin. Herşeyden önce herkese saygı lütfen.

    (Translated by Google) Saint Pierre and Paul Church; It was built in 1841 by Dominikan Cemati in the corner of Eski Banker Street which opened to the Galata Bankalar Street on the Rumelian side of the Bosphorus. This building was later converted into a mosque called Arab Mosque. A new church was allowed in this area. The first church made was a wooden building. Later in 1660 and 1731, the building was built in the 19th century. The building of today's building is Gaspare Fossat. The exterior facade of the structure on the east and west axis is very simple. The interior is very dynamic and dynamic compared to exterior facades. The structure of the structure which has a single nave with a naos is cradle vaulted. In addition to neoclassical elements, neobarok draws attention in details. (Original) Saint Pierre ve Paul Kilisesi;  İstanbul Boğazı’nın Rumeli yakasında Galata Bankalar Caddesine açılan Eski Banker sokağının köşesinde 1841 yılında Dominikan Cemati tarafından inşa edilmiştir.13.yüzyıldan beri İstanbul’da yaşayan cemaatin ilk kilisesi bugünkü Perşembe Pazarında idi. Bu bina daha sonra Arap Camii ismiyle camiye çevrilmiştir. Bunun üzerine bu bölgede yeni bir kilise yapımına izin verilmiştir. İlk yapılan kilise Ahşap bir bina idi. Daha sonra 1660 ve 1731 yıllarında bu yapılan binaların yanması üzerine 19.yüzyılda bugünkü Bina yapılmıştır. Bugünkü binanın mimarı Gaspare Fossatidir. Doğu ve Batı eksenindeki yapının dış cephesi son derece yalın düzenlenmiştir. İç mekan dış cephelere kıyasla çok hareketli ve dinamiktir. Tek nefli bir naosa sahip olan yapının örtü sistemi beşik tonozludur. Yapıda neoklasik öğeler dışında neobarok detaylarda dikkat çekmektedir.

    They have mass, obviously, but they also have guest speakers and presentations from time to time. I'd recommend signing up to their online newsletter.

    (Translated by Google) The Dominican church of Istanbul, under the Galata tower is not easy to find but it is very interesting. Mass is Sunday morning at 11.00, during the week the Church is generally closed. . .but there is the bell. (Original) La chiesa dei Domenicani di Istanbul, sotto la torre di Galata non è facile da trovare ma è molto interessante. La Messa è la domenica mattina alle 11.00, durante la settimana generalmente la Chiesa è chiusa. . .ma c'è il campanello.

    A fascinatingly beautiful church on the side of the street as you go from Karaköy towards the Galata Tower. I am sure that this beautiful atmosphere will be even more perfect in the evenings. It's a bit neglected, but it smells of history. Definitely worth a visit.

    Located at the bottom of the Galata tower, at the corner of one of the streets leading to Karaköy, the Saint Pierre church is truly fascinating with its architecture worth seeing. If you go on Sunday, you can witness hymns being played accompanied by the reed flute.

    That beautiful church, which I went to and discovered with my family. I was kindly invited inside and I had the chance to attend the services. I would also like to thank the lady who explained Jesus and the section from the Bible in a nice style 🫶

    Pek kiliseye girip gezmem türkiyenin heryerinde çoğu kilise gördüm tarihi açıdan gezdim ve okudum. Hatta bursada evim eski bir kilise yanında. Ama bu kilise biraz bakımsız faaliyette olmasına ramen biraz tarih meraklıları için daha fazla ilgi gösterilmeli teşekkür ederim.

    (Translated by Google) As someone who likes to visit and see churches in general, I thought this church was a bit neglected, when you sit down, everyone can be distracted for a moment by the sound of the seats. But I still think we should see it. (Original) Genel olarak klise gezmeyi ve görmeyi seven biri olarak bu klisenin biraz bakımsız olduğunu düşündüm , oturduğunuz zaman oturaklardan çıkan ses ile herkesin bir an dikkati dağılabiliyor. Fakat yine de görmemiz gerektiğini düşünüyorum.

    İstanbulun gizli hazinelerinden..Dominikler inşa ettikleri kilisenin camiye çevrilmesinin ardından 1475 yılında Bisticcia tarafında yapılan kiliseye geçtiler. 1841-1843 yılları arasında ise Saint Pierre Kilisesi’ni yaptırdılar. İstanbul Saint Pierre Kilisesi, San Pietro ve Paolo Kilisesi olarak da adlandırılmaktadır.

    (Translated by Google) The slope where it is located is very beautiful. Behind the church is the tower left from the Galata Walls (Poet Ziya Pasha Street) (Original) Bulunduğu yokuş çok güzel. Kilisenin arkasında Galata Surları'ndan kalan kule var (Şair Ziya Paşa Sokak)

    (Translated by Google) Istanbul does not go downhill. You will see an interesting place on every slope. Try different slopes by walking from Karaköy pier to Galata Tower or İstiklal street. On this march, I came across the Sen Piyer church. in #letsqui (Original) İstanbul yokuşsuz olmaz. Her yokuşta da ilginç bir mekan görürsünüz. Karaköy iskeleden Galata Kulesine veya İstiklal caddesine gidişte yürüyerek farklı yokuşları deneyiniz. Bu yürüyüşümde Sen Piyer kilisesi karşıma çıktı. #letsquide

    (Translated by Google) We used it for a short film. Although the venue is an old place, the preservation is quite good. and the security guards always assist you during shooting or sightseeing. (Original) Kısa film çekimi için kullanmıştık. Mekan eski bir yer olmasın rağmen korunması oldukça iyi. ilaçlanıyor ve her daim güvenlik görevlileri çekim ya da gezi esnasında size yardımcı oluyorlar.

    (Translated by Google) The first church in history is Saint-Pierre Church in Antakya. There are many churches in our country. Both the spiritual and the historical meaning are the structures that will fascinate you with the hand-workmanship that must be seen.

    It's an incredible place. What makes a place incredible is the peace it provides, especially in places of worship. Also, those who are there are the people who manage it. We came across it on our way and came to Sunday mass at 15.00. Ms. Lale and everyone else were so polite. We couldn't believe it. They treated us so kindly that we will go back again and again. We felt purified and filled with goodness. Their approach made us leave with peace and compassion. Endless thanks to everyone. It reminded us that what matters is not what our religion is, but how we embrace each other. Be sure to stop by. With love,
