Surp Harutyun Ermeni Kilisesi

📍 Beyoğlu, Istanbul

Surp Harutyun Ermeni Kilisesi, often called Taksim Surp Harutyun Church, belongs to the Armenian Apostolic tradition, and its name, Surp Harutyun, means “Holy Resurrection.” In Istanbul, churches like this have long anchored Armenian worship and community life, especially for families whose presence in the city deepened during the Ottoman period. The dedication to the Resurrection gives the church a name that is both liturgical and hopeful, which is a familiar pattern in Armenian sacred architecture. Even here in a busy part of the city, that Armenian presence is still woven into Istanbul’s religious landscape, and nearby you’ll find other traces of the same multicultural history in the streets around Taksim.
