Sankt Georg Catholic Church

The fire of 1660 completely destroyed the building.
Permission for reconstruction was obtained in 1670, and the church was reconsecrated on January 6, 1677.
The fires of 1696 and 1731 occurred; the reconstruction of 1731 was financed in part by a donation from King Louis XV of France.
In 1783, the Capuchins sold the building to Monsignor François Antoine Frachia; the building was used as the center of the apostolic vicariate until 1853.
In 1882, the building complex that included the church was purchased and became the core of the campus of Sankt Georg Austrian High School.
In 1963, the dense interior ornamentation was removed and a new interior decoration was applied.

The church belongs to the Latin Catholic Church.
The building has also been known as the Saint George Catholic Church.
The church opens onto Kart Çınar Street through a decorative portal.
The building has a three-aisled arrangement; the vaulted covering is carried by gray stone columns and quadrangular supports.
At the center of the nave, there is a dome bearing a depiction of a dove symbolizing the Holy Spirit.
The choir walls are clad in black marble; the pulpit leans against the rear wall behind the high altar.
Within the walls of the building, there is a holy spring; in the church narrative, this holy spring is associated with the tradition of Saint Irene.
