Sent Antuan Kilisesi or St. Anthony of Padua Church is a basilica and church located in the BeyoÄŸlu district. It is the largest Roman Catholic church in Istanbul and one of the three Levantine parishes in the area. It is famous for its unique architecture, which includes a gilded wooden statue of St. Anthony by Luigi Bresciani and mosaics depicting the Baptism of the Lord.
It was opened in 1912 to serve the Italian community and is run by Italian priests today. The combination of Italian, Polish, English and Turkish masses on different days provide an enriching religious experience to visitors.
