SS Peter and Paul (Turkish: Sen Pier ve Sen Paul Kilisesi, Italian: Chiesa dei Santi Pietro e Paolo a Galata, French: Eglise Saint Pierre Saint Paul) is a Catholic church in Istanbul, important for historical reasons. The church owns an icon of the Virgin of the Hodegetria type, which originally lay in a Dominican church in Caffa, Crimea.[1] The current building is a nineteenth-century (1841 to 1843) reconstruction of the Fossati brothers.[2] An adjacent former commercial facility, Saint Pierre Han, is (as of 2022) set to be renovated into a cultural center.[3]
