Church of Saints Peter and Paul

📍 Beyoğlu, Istanbul

Sen Piyer Kilisesi, known in English as the Church of Saints Peter and Paul and locally as St. Pierre, is a Catholic church that keeps Istanbul’s Latin Christian past very much alive. The present building dates to 1841, replacing earlier church structures on the same site. Its dedication to Saints Peter and Paul links it to the Dominican tradition in the city, which shaped many of the Latin churches here over the centuries. That makes this one of the clearest reminders of the old mercantile and religious communities that grew up around the Golden Horn, not far from the city’s former trading quarters.
