The Seven Churches, which are named after the cities they were in during the Roman period, are the places you must visit to explore the unique historical heritage of the Aegean geography. It is believed that the apocalypse was written in these churches, so each of them is of great importance for the history of world religions. We start our Seven Churches Tour with the House of Virgin Mary of Ephesus. Afterwards, we visited the churches of Pergamon in Pergamon, Acropolis in Manisa, Sardes and Thyatira in Smyrna and respectively, and set our route. We turn it to Hierapolis located in Pamukkale.
It would not be wrong to say that the seven ancient churches in the Aegean Region have a special importance. In addition to being the important centers where Christianity was founded and spread, these churches are considered sacred because they are mentioned in a divine vision conveyed by St. He met with Jesus. Jesus warned about the end of the world; Upon this, St. Paul sent seven letters to the churches in Anatolia with advice on how to prepare for the end of the world. Each of the churches founded during the most powerful period of the Roman Empire is mentioned in the New Testament, the second part of the Bible, the holy book of Christianity. Even when the churches were first opened, the Christians in the region were under great pressure. These holy temples, known as the first seven churches of Christianity, gradually paved the way for this religion to spread to Anatolia.
