beautiful design,I like this Catholic Church, I visit seldom

[ASIMOV]

Full name: San Antonio di Padova

It's an Italian church, built by the local Levantino Italians of Istanbul.

But because every foreign word/name in Turkish is "Frenchicized", people call it St. Antoine (as if it's a French church).

Completed in 1912, it's the largest Catholic church in Istanbul.

It was designed by Giulio Mongeri, a local Levantino Italian who designed many famous buildings in Istanbul and Ankara.

A few famous buildings designed by Giulio Mongeri:

ISTANBUL:

*) San Antonio di Padova
*) Maçka Palas (building of Armani Café and Gucci)
*) Old Italian Embassy (Maçka Technical School, right across Maçka Palas)
*) Karaköy Palas (one of the very few Neo-Byzantine buildings in the world)
*) ÖDP Building on Istiklal Avenue (Grand Rue de Pera)

etc etc etc...

ANKARA:

*) Ziraat Bank Building (Turkish Neo-Classicism)
*) Is Bank Building (Turkish Neo-Classicism)

etc etc etc...
