The municipal authorities of Turkey’s Eskishehir city are going to start the reconstruction of an Armenian church to reopen it as a house of culture.
Founded in 1881, the Holy Trinity church is now being rebuilt by the Turkish Ministry of Culture and Tourism.
The building, which is considered one of the biggest churches of Anatolia, for many years served as just a storehouse.
After reconstruction, it is expected to host exhibitions, concerts and assemblies.
The Middle East Technical University and the Gazi University are going to renovate the church’s venues.
The building will always be open for tourists; its interior will be decorated by carpets characteristic of the town Sivrihisar.
