History

Saint Mary's Catholic Church was built by the Franciscans in 1831, according to the inscriptions in the church.[1] During the creation of Bornova Cumhuriyet Square in the 1970s, the area of the church shrank with the construction of new buildings in the surrounding area.[2] The church's immovables were transferred to the Italian Catholic Church by a court decision in 2018.[3]
