ST PAUL’S WELL

Located in a courtyard in the Tarsus district of Mersin, which is considered the place of St. Paul's house, which is mentioned in the Bible as the “Annunciation”, St.Paul Well is one of the cultural assets of our country nominated for the UNESCO World Heritage List.

Known as the birthplace of St. Paul and dedicated to St. Paul, it has long been considered a sacred spiritual center for Christians. In the past, it was visited by Christians passing through the region in order to become a pilgrim to Jerusalem on long journeys and drank from the well water. The year between June 29, 2008 and June 29, 2009 was celebrated as the Year of St. Paul in the Catholic world.
