Facade of the Church of St Peter, originally built ca. 1100 by Crusaders and rebuilt in the 19th century

The Church of Saint Peter (Arabic: Knisset Mar Semaan Kefa; Turkish: Senpiyer Kilisesi; St. Peter's Cave Church, Cave-Church of St. Peter) near Antakya (Antioch), Turkey, is composed of a cave carved into the mountainside on Mount Starius with a depth of 13 m (42 ft.), a width of 9.5 m (31 ft.) and a height of 7 m (23 ft).[1] The church is not to be mistaken with the former cathedral of Antioch, the church of Cassian which was also called church of St. Peter.[2]

This cave is one of Christianity's oldest churches. The church reportedly is still intact after 2023 Turkey–Syria earthquake.[3][4]
