A church built in the 19th century for the city's Greek Orthodox community, known for its wooden iconostasis and still open for worship.
Its story
The church, built for the Orthodox Christians living in the city in the period when Mersin grew rich through trade, is one of the important parts of the historic fabric in the center. The carved wooden icon screen and the icons inside are the building's most striking elements. The church today serves the Antioch Greek Orthodox community and can be visited outside service times.
