Meryemana (The Virgin Mary's House)
The House of the Virgin Mary is a sacred pilgrimage site for Christians, believed to be the place where the Virgin Mary spent her final years and passed away. The site gained international recognition after Pope Paul VI visited in 1967, offering his unofficial confirmation of its authenticity. Later, Pope John Paul II visited in 1979, followed by Pope Benedict XVI in 2006. Each of them left gifts and tokens of respect, many of which are still on display at the shrine today.
