Fodor's Expert Review Taksiyarhis Anıt Müzesi

This beautiful church, built in 1844 on the site of a 15th-century edifice that was the first church in Ayvalık, was carefully restored and reopened as a museum by the Turkish government in 2013. Along with the gorgeous frescoes and imitation marble panels, the elaborate pulpit with icons of saints and the marble bishop's seat with gold bird reliefs are noteworthy.
