Historical Site
Built in 1723, the church was unearthed in 2005 during the road opening works of the municipality. There are two main entrance gates in the west direction. Dedicated to St Mary, the church was built under the presidency of the VIIIth Patriarch Bedros Krikor Catholicos. Pink marble and basalt stone were used as ornamental elements in the church built of cut stone. The church, which has three apses and is well preserved, now serves as Ömer Ersoy Cultural Centre.
Saint Peter Church, believed to have been built around 1723, was hidden for many years as a warehouse in a yarn factory before being uncovered and restored. It is now used as the Ömer Ersoy Cultural Center; with its pink marble and basalt stone craftsmanship, three-nave basilical plan, and historical texture, it is one of Gaziantep's notable cultural heritage structures.
