Located on the famous Istiklal Street in Taksim neighborhood of the Beyoglu district of Istanbul, the Saint Antoine (also called St. Anthony of Padua or Sant’Antonio di Padova) is one of the most beautiful and magnificent churches of Istanbul.
Built in 1912 in the Italian neo-Gothic style, the church is also one of the largest churches in Istanbul and belongs to the largest Roman Catholic community in Istanbul.
The Church is designed by Giulio Mongeri and Eduardo de Nari, the two well-known architects in neo-Gothic style. If we look at the façade, we’ll see that it reflects the 14th century tuscanlombard style and with a latin cross shaped building.
