Discover the Faith in İznik

İznik; one of the most important destinations in Christian history.

In 325 AD, the First Council of Nicaea was held here, playing a major role in shaping the foundations of Christian belief and the Nicene Creed. One of İznik’s most remarkable discoveries is the Basilica of Saint Neophytos, uncovered beneath the waters of Lake Iznik. This extraordinary archaeological site has become one of the most significant discoveries connected to the Christian heritage of the region. Beyond its sacred history, İznik invites you to explore its ancient city walls, Süleyman Pasha Madrasa, İznik Museum, traditional İznik tiles, and the peaceful shores of Lake İznik.
