⛪️St. Pierre Church

At noon, we visited the famous St. Peter's Church in Antakya. It is considered one of the oldest Christian churches in the world and holds exceptional historical significance. The church is located inside a natural cave on the slopes of Mount Starius. As soon as we entered, we felt the unique atmosphere of this historic site. According to tradition, the Apostle Peter preached to some of the first Christian communities here. Inside the cave church, we saw ancient stone walls, an altar, and several religious features. Its simple design highlights the spiritual character of the place. Over the centuries, the church has been expanded and restored several times. Today, it is one of the most important Christian pilgrimage sites in Turkey. Visiting this remarkable place felt like a journey into the early history of Christianity.
