Tarsus St. Paul Memorial Museumvisitor guide.

St. Paul Monument Museum was constructed in 1850 by the Orthodox Arab-Greek Community. Used for different purposes until 1993, the historical property was allocated to the Ministry of Culture in 1994 and designated as the St. Paul Monument Museum. Comprehensive restoration works were conducted at St. Paul Museum and its surroundings between 1997 and 2001. Alongside restoration initiated at St. Paul Monument Museum, adjacent properties were expropriated by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism under an environmental landscaping project. Restorations and landscaping were completed in 2001, opening the site to visitation as St. Paul Monument Museum. In the three-aisled rectangular church, the ceiling of the central nave features frescoes of Jesus Christ, Evangelists John, Matthew, Mark, and Luke, an eye motif, and a bird figure. Depictions of landscapes and angels flank the window situated in the upper portion of the apse. A bell tower rises at the northeast corner of the church. Domestic and foreign pilgrimage groups visiting St. Paul Monument Museum also hold religious services here.
