Whispers of ancient liturgies echo within the Samatya Aya Analipsiz Kilisesi. This Roman Orthodox church stands as a testament to centuries of faith and resilience. The Samatya Aya Analipsiz Kilisesi has witnessed the ebb and flow of empires, from the Byzantines to the Ottomans. Its very stones whisper tales of devotion and survival. While the exact date of the original structure remains a mystery, we know a church graced this spot even during the Eastern Roman Empire. A traveler named Stephan Gerlach documented his visit to a church here in 1578. Another account, by Trifon Karabeynikov, refers to the church as Panagia Psomatia Mahaletha. Tragedy struck in 1782 when fire ravaged the church. From the ashes emerged the current Samatya Aya Analipsiz Kilisesi, completed in 1832. This three-aisled basilica stands as a tribute to the enduring spirit of the community. The Samatya Aya Analipsiz Kilisesi Foundation ensures the preservation of this sacred place. The church is overseen by the dedicated Samatya Aya Analipsiz Rum Ortodoks Kilisesi Vakfı. Their stewardship ensures the continuation of its rich heritage.
